Weekend Reflections

Weekend Reflections is hosted by James each week beginning Friday at 11 AM Eastern Standard Time. It's another wonderful way of opening your eyes to new and different kinds of beauty. Click on the web address under the blog title and sign up to play with us! 
Except for when I turn on the TV and get the news, it's been a wonderful week! We've had sunshine and lovely skies and mild temps! So different from most of the country! Here are my reflections for the day! I wish you all a wonderful weekend with lots of love and laughter!
People with many interests live, not only longest, but happiest.

    You made me smile, Sylvia. I DO like to know what's going on in the world...but after I find out it can be so depressing! No matter what, I'm still addicted to it.

    You need to spend less time watching the news, and more time getting great pictures like these.

    I love the pictures, but what Eleanor Roosevelt said is so true " No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." a lot of people, especially young ones need to know this. Thanks for sharing.
