Sunday Postcard Art

The theme this week HOBBIES AND/OR PASTIMES.

Other than digital art, I love bird watching and books. There are many other things I enjoy doing. But it would be to eclectic to add so much to one post card.

Do not turn a pebble into a bolder.

"How do you find out if you are an optimist or pessimist? Ask yourself the question: How do I think when bad things happen to me? A pessimist lets the bad thing contaminate everything in their life: home, work, relationships.  An optimist, on the other hand, isolates the bad. "It's just this one piece that's not so good, everything else is OK." Lou Tice

For me, I have to work on staying an optimist.
It is so easy to let things control your thoughts.
Then they take over your life.
I have come a long way in letting go of this habit.
You just need to stop, when a negative thing happens. Then think. I can handle any thing. This is temporary. It will go away. Ask your self " Can I fix this? Is this my problem or dose it belong to some else." Do not take on the baggage of others. Even if they are your own kids.

Remember do not turn a pebble into a bolder.

Some thing small sure can hurt. 

But a bolder can kill.  

Every new day is another chance to change your life.

A perfect day

 I asked hubby if he wanted to go eagle hunting today.
And he said yes! He asked Tessa and she said Yes.
So off we went to bagnelldam. It was a bit chilly but the sun was out. Yea! Sunshine.  

 

The water level was up so the island was quite small with only 1 blue herring taking a nap. It was not till I up loaded these photos to the computer, that I realized " this is the shape of a heart". How cool is that?

 We saw plenty of turkey buzzards.

And yes! There were 4 eagles. This was one of the best shots. They were all in flight. And I needed more than a 300mm lens to get a better shot.

Believe it or not. This is my best photo of the day.

This pigeon was in the side wall. I was looking down at it.

After this adventure. My oldest daughter came over.
We went for a drive to the Dutch country store. There was many animals out along the way. But I did not bring a camera. So I missed a shot of a beautiful white horse with black blotches. It reminded you of a zebra with out the strips. Then came a mom cow with a recently new little gray baby running in the field. We went on a bit farther. Then here was a black Angus mom cow. Who just gave birth. Her tail was still wiggling in the air. The baby was wet and laying on the ground. This give me hope warm weather is on its way.

A new day

Today started out before 5 am. I have been in thought most of the morning. I have been silent allowing what happens happen. So today I decided to allow my old self to do what it did best. Try to fix the situation. I wrote a letter on behalf of my youngest daughter.
Asking for mercy. It is so hard to live in limbo. Not knowing what the future will bring. Not knowing where the kids will live. Not knowing what to say. So I say nothing. But I am going to use my word for 2011 to rule this day. I wish to revive, restore & renovate my life from this minute forward. 
This will be a good day. The sun is shinning. And I ask for positive energy. To allow my family to move forward ASAP.
