“One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.”
~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
These photos are so February 2014!
They've been lounging in my archive, waiting...waiting ever so patiently for me to write something and launch the post. Alas, days went by, and months, then life morphed into a maze of this and that, which rendered this blog buried in publish neglect. sad.

Looking at these pics, you'd think I was the queen of high spirits, hah!
Quite frankly, yes and even more bluntly, no! The prime truth of the matter is, these photos represent ooooh, snarky sobby' trying days rife with challenges and changes and not knowing what the future holds, what the next step would be, what to, where to, whatever!
Life was a cliffhanger...SMILE!
But the Divine was at work ( uuh' yah! ) and threw us an unmistakable thump to dress up swank and parteh', inspite of! Yes, inspite of sullied circumstances having been acquainted with folks less than honorable with their dealings.
Ah, one must dig the grandest measure of good out of a decrepit situation, wisen up like the evening owl, and brave forth like the most majestic of eagles ( drama!).
Why the heck pout and gripe when all things are but temporal, even the muddled. These are the good old' days being ushered in! Welcome it!

And so we did! In style!
I donned my creamy favorite vintage dress ( + my grand brown hat too, let's not forget!), genuinely celebratory and thankful for the beautiful scenery, the wonderful people, and the glorious food!
It was a sparkling time and I was touched by a serene spirit whispering, it was Valentine's Day, things would be OK.

So let me see, what's there to learn:
1. Be calm. Inspite of trying times. Be calm. Calm is insight. Calm is wisdom.
2. Present your best. Your best brings about solutions.
3. Enjoy. Even in the middle of muddles, life gives permission to laugh and be merry. It is essential to sanity.
"There aren't any shortcuts to tomorrow, you have to make your own way.To know where you're going is only a part of it.You need to know where you've been, too.And if you get lost, don't worry.The people who love you will find you. Count on it." ~ Quotebites
