Sunday girl

As is my usual practice on a Sunday a few quotes to up lift and inspire, or just to make you think.

I am a part of all that I have met. ~Alfred Lord Tennyson

If a man who cannot count finds a four-leaf clover, is he lucky? ~Stanislaw J. Lec

How long has it been since someone touched part of you other than your body? ~Laurel Hoodwrit

Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet. ~Roger Miller

The last one describes so many people I known, the others that is.

Picture today is the last for a bit of the canal set, it’s quite fitting that it is a model of a boat on a boat filled with flowers. I hope the you have enjoyed the set, lots of the comments have made me want to revisit the whole area again.

This one "Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet" is really nice.

Ooh, nice. Good quotes too. It's nice to look at them and pick them up... Sometimes you might just learn one of life's little mantras.

"Whenever you feel like you want to be a teenager again, just think of algebra" -- lol!

I am in love with your blog. I thought that boats filled with flowers was a Honey Brook invention, one being not two miles from me, in front of a doublewide trailer and at least a hundred miles from the nearest body of water big enough to float it. I will have to send you a picture, ours has a very patriotic theme with flags and plastic flowers of impossible hue.

I like mini me boat scene, very creative whoever designed that. All great quotes but the last one had me nodding in knowing agreement, the I know people like that. Definitely re visit the scene(sounds like a criminal act), it's been a real breathe of fresh air to vitually walk canalside.

Hi Brett,
I'm really enjoying your site. I think I'll tackle more posts in batches of themes on my art blog.

Very nice to find your blog and will definitely return.
BTW, I love the quotes. I especially like the Tennyson one.
Best,
Henry

I too like that last quote. Am I the only one who has wanted to sing in the rain at least once?

"Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet". I prefer to dance in the rain.

I wrote this as part of the second days post: “365 different photos, I’m daunted and intrigued at the same time. Daunted with the task of taking the images and writing words to tie it all together and intrigued at what will be here in a year’s time. Will anybody see this? Will it make any sense?” 70,849 words, 367 photos, 3014 comments, and 43358 visitors from 164 countries later and it’s all done, I’m 42 and have the answer to those questions. Yes somebody has seen it and no it really does not make much sense, but that really does not seem to matter that much. I wanted to mark the passing of a year in my life and have ended up with a fantastic record of a year in both words and pictures. More than that it has changed my life, I have gained a confidence I never had, I can write without fear, my photography skill has improve and I realise that you can do nearly anything if you work at it. One of my dreams was that it would become a “blog of note”, I still smile at the feeling’s that hit...

Blog of note!

You known how it is, you’ve loads to do and not much time, but with a little luck and a bit of careful planning and you can fit it all in and than someone makes you BLOG OF NOTE!!!!!! WOW, Arghhhhhhhhhh!. From around 25 readers to 3451 by the end of the day, and what a post to have on the blog, I nearly did not write it, it was very personal and maybe too private to share, but I known that there are others, like me, out there and thought that if it just helped one person it made the risk worth while, well its shared now. Now this is pressure, writing knowing that lots of people will read this, do I make a grand statement, do I get stage fright and dry up, no I’ll just babble on as I always do, it’s worked so far. First, Blog of note people, thank you, this really means a lot to me, I’ve read most of the blogs of notes since I started blogging and feel stunned to be in their company. Next, if you’re reading this blog for the first time, welcome, make your self at home, there’s ...

Have you ever put something off, that you really should have done, I have, getting assessed for dyslexia. Nearly my whole life I have had problems spelling, and have done every thing to avoid getting tested, why, because I was scared that I would not have it and be told I was just thick or lazy. Well yesterday I got tested, and the results surprised me. First I was informed that my reading ability was good to high, next I was informed that I have an IQ of over 120 (140 and over Genius or near genius 120-140 Very superior intelligence 110-120 Superior intelligence 90-110 Normal or average intelligence 80-90 Dullness 70-80 Borderline deficiency Below 70 Definite feeble-mindedness 70-80 Borderline deficiency 50-69 Moron 20-49 Imbecile below 20 Idiot.) They have changed the lower classification for a more PC wording but this is the original. Lastly I was informed that I am Dyslexic and my writing and spelling were well below what my intelligence suggested (that why it takes me forever...
