Wednesday's Reflection 06-15-16

Copyright 2016 AJ Horton

Hello and happy Wednesday.  Today I have a photograph of a little frog on the leg of one of my outdoor plastic chairs.  This frog may be small, but he has a big reflection!  I'm thinking he's wishing he could be as big as his reflection.   He might wonder about all the things he could do if he were only a little bigger; the bigger sound he could make; the farther he could jump; the less he would get bullied by bigger frogs.  There might be more advantages to being bigger.  But, then again, there might be disadvantages like he would be more easily recognizable, so more easily caught.  Since he might be able to jump farther, he just might jump a little too far and into the path of an approaching vehicle.  So, maybe he just wants to stay as small as he is and dream big!  Maybe he wants to be as courageous as if he were bigger.  Maybe he just likes dreaming - just like the rest of us.  Maybe it was just a fluke and I am making all this up.  Well, I guess that's a possibility.  I like to dream big, too.   

How about you?  Do you also like to dream big?  I hope you had a wonderful Wednesday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Friday's Field of Dreams 01-08-16

Hello and happy Friday.  We made it - Friday came, we made it through, and now we can play in our own little "field of dreams"!  We can imagine running and frolicking and climbing the trees and lying on the ground looking up and seeing animals and other objects displayed in the clouds.  Oh what fun we will have.  Won't you join me?  Or, do you have other plans for Friday?  Whatever you do, please enjoy yourself.  You've earned it.

I hope you had a fabulous Friday.  Remember to dream.  Thanks for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Friday Out on the Water

Hello on Friday.  Friday is one of those days that is just always a good day.  Even if you have to work the weekend, Friday just has a certain happiness to it.  And if you have a boat, let's say like this one, and, it just happened to be Friday - well, I guess that would put a little more happiness into Friday.  I'm dreaming of taking that boat out right now and I just found myself smiling.  Imagine how the owner of that beauty feels.  

How do you feel on Friday?  Is it your happiest day of the week?  I hope at some point you have some lovely scenery like this to gaze upon.  Thank you for looking.  Thank you for sharing a moment of your Friday with me.  I'll see you tomorrow.

Wednesday's Waterfall

Wednesday, oh Wednesday, why are you so hard?  No answer.  Well, I guess I'll just have to make the best of it - and go to my happy place in my head.  Since I did survive what you threw at me today, Wednesday, I deserve my happy place.  And, today my happy place is a waterfall.  This one is in western North Carolina.   It is cool and refreshing and I want to slide down it into the cool, fresh water below.  Ahh, yes - dreaming on a Wednesday evening eases the stresses of today and readies me for sweet sleep dreams later.  Try is with me.  Tonight imagine yourself at this waterfall.  Imagine stepping into the cool, refreshing water and feeling your feet releasing all the tension they built up today while you were abusing them.   Imagine that release going up through your legs as you wade deeper into the water.  Such a wonderful feeling beginning all over your body now.  Are you feeling it with me?  Wednesday's earlier harsh reality is now being washed away and replaced with a new wonderful, soothing reality that energizes and renews you  - mind and body - for another day.    AHHHHHH!  Feel better?  I hope so.  I know I do.

Thanks for looking.  Thanks for imagining.  Thanks for renewing.  See you tomorrow.

Thursday's Thinking of Shells

Today, Thursday, I want to think of myself lounging on the beach enjoying everything - the sand, the surf, big shells, little shells, shells that have a top ....  It is Thursday when our thoughts really turn to planning for the weekend.  We only have two days, we have to have  a plan and make the best of our weekend - even if the plan is to stay in bed and watch TV all weekend.  But you've still got to get through today and tomorrow (unless you have Friday off).  So dreaming and planning will have to do for now.  The beach is calling me.  Is the beach calling you?  Will you answer the call?  Or is something else calling you - the mountains, the yard, friends, family, the TV?  Well, dream on, and enjoy this Thursday as you get one day closer to the weekend.
Thanks for looking and dreaming with me.  See you tomorrow.

Monday's Sunrise Clouds

Mondays can have you dreaming.  Dreaming that Monday is over.... Dreaming that today is Friday.... Dreaming of vacation...  And speaking of vacation.... this was taken on a sunrise flight to Puerto Rico a few years ago.  We were the only 3 passengers on the commuter flight from Florida to Puerto Rico and we felt like VIPs.  The sun coming up over the clouds was really something special!  I don't get many chances to see the sunrise from this view.  It is a "high" all its own!

I hope you had a wonderful Monday.  Thanks for looking into the clouds with me today.  See you tomorrow.
