Don’t forget that many of the troubles and stresses that come in life are not your fault. Nor are they your loved one’s fault. They just happen. Work together to overcome these obstacles and you can grow closer rather than creating a wedge. And drink wine. or a cherry coke 😉 Here’s to sweet reflections and a Happy Friday ♥
stuff i tell my sister 
Very pretty photos, Paula, and I love your verbal reflections, too.
Thank you, Naomi ♥ Hope you have an awesome weekend!
That’s interesting because I was only telling James today that was no good luck or bad luck… only how we interpret it…
exactly! and that can depend upon the day and the mindset, don’t you think?
These are lovely photos… I try so hard for reflections off water in my photos … but then I normally lose the center of my shot … the birds
Thanks Bulldog….we were out looking for garage sales in the country and found this instead. A pretty fun trade 😉 Your pics are ALWAYS amazing…..
Love the reflections — and so true. It is what it is. It’s what we do with what is that makes the difference. Happy Friday!
Very good point! Have a super weekend ~ ♥
Sweeeeeeet and beautiful!
um….like you, my friend!
too sweet! xo
Fantastic reflections literally and metaphorically.
And you are correct, sometimes it is no-one’s fault. Things just happen.
It is up to each of us to pick up again.
Always moving forward…. ♥
So true! Thanks for the reminder, Paula!
♥ Hope your Friday rocked ♪ ♫ ♪
If people would remember this, they wouldn’t be so hard on themselves. Nice post!
Some days I need this reminder ♥ Have a super weekend, friend ~
Lovely photos & post…so true. I shall have a glass of champagne later and contemplate your wisdom:-)
cheers, Jeannette ♥
The stress of writing my thesis has caused me to drink more mango rum. I recommend it highly.
Haha….thanks for the recommendation! And keep hanging in there!
I love how you always stress that we can overcome by doing it together!
Paula, I loved your peaceful pictures. One of my best memories is sitting on a big flat rock in a beautiful river and reading. We were camping, and I longed for an hour to “reflect” away from the three little noisy kids.
by water is my fave place to think Delores!
I was never a “happy” camper….but always enjoyed a book on the water. Sweet memories, Delores ♥
Thanks, Diana…..you know I preaching to “me”…;)
haha, that’s what I do too!
That is a good reminder. It is so easy to blame or take the blame especially when there are just two of you in the house! Even then it’s not a good idea! 🙂 I love your photos. What a gorgeous place. 🙂
Love that lake and dock. Thanks for the reminder to slow it down.
Thanks…..hope you are relaxing this weekend!!!
Lovely, Paula. I hope your father has a wonderful father’s day…and that life for your parents is going well. ox
We went to spend time with them yesterday. Day by day…things are getting done. Thanks so much!! ♥ Enjoy your SUNDAY!
Beautiful! Where was this taken? Tell Marvin Happy Father’s Day for me! 🙂
A little pond out on the edge of Owasso. We were out looking for garage sales!!!
Tell Clint Happy Day as well!!!
You guys have so much fun. I can never get clint to go or do anything! 😦
Will do!
We love to goof around….there are lots of surprises just waiting around the next corner….. Tell Clint to get out there and explore! 😉
I will, but I doubt he will listen! 🙂
Sweet – I especially like that second shot.
I love looking for garage sales in the country….this was our best find that day. 😉
Nice!!
