Unless you start doing something different,
you are in for more of the same.

And in the end,
it’s not the years in your life that count,
it’s the life in your years.

Cut not the wings of your dreams,
for they are the heartbeat and the freedom of your soul.

Life can only be understood backwards,
but can only be lived forwards.

Blessings for your Thursday; live forward, different, fully, flying. Lisa
…here. The practical Lisa knows that airfare for a family makes this prohibitive. The dreamer Lisa hopes that somehow magically lower rates will appear on Aer Lingus’ website at any minute! 😉 Hey, a girl can dream, right? Slainte, Lisa
Ocean view from the cliff
Here’s a picture of my husband’s and my impossible dream. It’s an abandoned beachside hotel/resort on Barbados’ North Point shore. Our taxi driver Ralph took us out there, and told us that the hotel had been abandoned and for sale for several years. More like 10 years plus by the look of the crumbling walls of the hotel. Yet it was one of those “wouldn’t that be cool” moments you have in your life, where you think “what if we bought it and fixed it and lived on this cliffside in the Caribbean the rest of our lives” moments. But then reality of the money, money, and more money sank in, and we realized that the dream wasn’t maybe so good after all. But every time I look at these pictures, it brings a certain thrill again. Maybe this place is calling to one of you! heehee 🙂 Slainte, Lisa
Beautiful Anguilla
I much prefer this kind of storm to the one that’s coming our way tonight. This storm had warm winds, rain that cooled hot skin, and turbulent green-blue water. This other one, Pax, is supposedly going to have lots of cold white stuff that just keeps coming to the tune of 8-12 inches. And I know that I should have a good attitude, love whatever comes my way, but I’m just not there. So I’ll do my usual distraction technique and look at pictures like this, pretend, dream, and before I know it, Pax will be a memory. For those of you who love snow, my apologies. For those of you who are feeling like me, happy dreaming. 😉 Slainte, Lisa
If I were a princess and lived in this tower, I would gaze upon the green surrounding me, watching the waving fronds of the nearby palm tree and happily wile away the hours singing to the nearby birds.
That’s the dream version. In reality, I would probably be wondering how I was going to manage those steep circular stairs another day, wish for the Prince to come rescue me already, and long for a different view for just a day.
Aren’t we humans funny creatures? I love to dream, to imagine, to see things sometimes differently than they are. And that’s ok, because life gets challenging sometimes, and the reality isn’t too fun to look at all the time. So dream away…big, bold, beautiful dreams. Slainte, Lisa
Postscript: I really am a princess….check it out: “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” ~1 Peter 2:9
“How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called the children of God! And that is what we are! ~1John 3:1
