"I'll Be There For You", Says Wednesday's Giraffe 09-14-16

Hello and happy Wednesday.  I know I showed a giraffe earlier this week but I also wanted to show this one today.  I chose it because the giraffe in front is looking at me as if to say,  "When the others leave you, I'll still be here".  Who doesn't want to have that one special someone that will stay and be supportive even when everyone else leaves?  I know I really count on that and am very grateful for her.

I hope you have someone in your life that won't leave you when others walk away.  I also hope you had a wonderful Wednesday,  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

"Hey, Hey Monday" 09-12-16

Hello and happy Monday.  My giraffe friend wants to say, "Hey, hey, Monday"!!  This large, long, graceful giraffe is located at the Asheboro NC Zoo.  He hides behind the rocks sometimes, but comes out after a few minutes just to say, "Hey".  Go see him sometime.  I know you'll enjoy him.

I hope there was something you enjoyed this Monday if you weren't at the Zoo.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Reaching for Goals on Friday 05-13-16

Hello and happy Friday.  Today is a great day.  Today is the day you can go after what you want.  Today is the day you get what you want.  I have been told this for years, but I mostly believed that line for other people, not for me .... until today.   Well, today I went back to the Asheboro Zoo with that new lens I told you about last week.  I went to the Africa side because I felt like I could use all that zoom power.  When I came to the giraffe, zebra, and ostrich area and saw this giraffe reaching for the leaves, and then, when his neck didn't get him close enough, he used his long tongue to get his food.  It was then that it hit me - if this giraffe can go after and get what he wants, what he needs, against the odds, then why can't I?  Why can't you?  The answer is simple.  You and I can get what we want and what we need.  We just have to figure out how to do it and then - DO IT!  So, lets take a tip from this giraffe and go after what we want, figure it, and keep working at it until you get it.

I hope you had a great "can do" Friday!  Thanks for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Tall Saturday Giraffe 9-19-15

Happy Saturday.   I have a nice, tall giraffe for you today.  Did you know that the giraffe is the tallest mammal in the world.  Even their babies are taller than most people.  Giraffes spend most of their lives standing up and have very short sleep cycles per day.  I need much more sleep and I just don't want to be on my feet all day.  I love to look at giraffes but very grateful to be human instead.

I hope you had a nice long, tall Saturday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Here's Looking at you Sunday!

Hey Sunday.  Woooohooooo.   What a great day! Here the sun is shining and it is warm outside.   This giraffe at the Asheboro Zoo in North Carolina wants to pose.  Did you know that giraffes are the tallest animal in the world, sometimes getting 20 feet in height?  And, they consume about 75 pounds of vegetation each day?  And, their hearts weigh about 25 pounds and are approximately 2 feet long?  Now that's a big heart.  The biggest thing I learned about giraffes when I Googled "Facts about giraffes" is that giraffes can go several days without water!  I thought only camels did that!  Anyway, giraffes are very interesting and this one seems to be interested in what I'm doing.  And at this point I am loving the moment.  I love the attention he's giving me.

How about you?  Are you loving your moment today?  Are you?  I hope so.  Thank you for looking at my adventure, my muse.  Have a great Sunday.  See you tomorrow.
