If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience. ~Robert Fulghum
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. ~M. Kathleen Casey
If you're going through hell, keep going. ~Winston Churchill
If you want to forget all your other troubles, wear too tight shoes. ~The Houghton Line
If the wind will not serve, take to the oars. ~Latin Proverb
Count the garden by the flowers, never by the leaves that fall. Count your life with smiles and not the tears that roll. ~Author Unknown
Sylvia. I just realized how reflective and philosophical you are. And thank you for maintaining the memes! I want to start one but am afraid it will be too much work and I am not retired!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your photos and the quotes, especially the Winston Churchill one!!!

Lovely photos and words, as usual, Sylvia. I really enjoyed the Why post below, also. I kept thinking, Yeah! Why?
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by and commenting so regularly!
Lovely photos and interesting & thought provoking quotations. I like the last quote. Same goes with the saying that we have to count our blessing.
ReplyDeleteA blessed weekend to you Slyvia.
In a nasty mood today, eh? I love it! I´ll take the pain and the optional suffering too. From you, always.
ReplyDeleteI love the Pain and Suffering quote LOL And I love that picture of the rose... :) Have a wonderful weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI do need to be reminded every so often to count those flowers and not the leaves that do eventually fall every so often. Thank you for that reminder, Sylvia. You are one of my flowers.

ReplyDeleteI think this is why we are stuck in the lower dimensions.
If we want to lose our troubles, I would suggest taking off one's shoes and going barefoot. By going barefoot, one has to walk gently and with care, watching and feeling every step one takes. Tieing your shoes tighter just creates more pain allowing one to forget their troubles instead of facing them with courage and honour.
Lovely sky pics!

Lovely photos and lovely words!
ReplyDeletehave a beautiful weekend Sylvia:)
I stopped by Lizzy's blog and saw you won one of her awards. Congrats! Love the pics!
ReplyDeleteThat opening shot is gorgeous, Sylvia. It's almost scary, in a way, because it resembles what forests look like on fire.
ReplyDeleteGreat (and varied) set of photos. The skies in the first and last are amazing, and I love the beach shot too (nothing like that around my part of the world).
ReplyDeleteEvery one of them superb! Quotes AND photographs!
ReplyDeleteGreat colors !
ReplyDeleteThe first one is a beauty.
Great images here, your first sky shot is particularly good. Thanks so much for stopping by my own blog and your kind comments! See you next week!
