A Golden Opportunity!

The sun typifies life.

So when life gives one opportunities, one needs to avail themselves of those opportunities; drink them up, so to speak.

Savour

Make a plan and use what is at hand.

Or go out and get it. 8^)

Kernels of gold.

But find the time.

Don't settle for less than the real thing.

So when a golden opportunity comes along...

Seize it! And go look for that golden egg! Maybe you'll find it!!!

Oranga glad it is Tuesday

I like Tuesday!

A good beginning has been made.

This could be a very fruitful and productive week.

If yellow is sunny, well then orange is down right happy.

Definitely a warm colour.

And sometimes a serious colour.

A fall colour, a time for dyeing.

And a time for playing.

Please note the photographer's assistant wants credit for his help!

Blue Monday

Monday, the beginning of the week. Time to make the plan, consider the options. Let's be calm, cool, and collected.

All the options are laid out on blue lines with a blue pen.

Will the ol' work ethic kick in or will the procrastinating tendencies win out?

Blue, a calming colour.

A playful colour.

A refreshing colour.



A rare flower colour.

A colour with lots of options.

A colour to use creatively!

The Royal Family

Sunday is Family day so I think Sundays should be purple. This is all about being with family, fellowshipping, often with food and plain old relaxing.

My favorite place to relax is in bed with a good book but that is usually at the end of the day.

For most of the day it looks like this.

The day starts off brightly.

And continues with fun things.

And visiting.

The sun begins to fade.

Bed beckons and sweet dreams follow.

It's a GO!

Saturday: when I think green. go, go, go
Last chance to get things done for the current week.

This'll call for old work clothes. Whoa, it really is lime. The yellow wants to separate out and I'm thinking at least 2 coats.

Surely the weeding and watering will be on the wane as summer draws to a close.

If I washed yesterday, the clothes should be dry by now.

Not likely any time for my growing interest in all forms of creativity.

But there is always time to connect with my ever growing community of friends and family.

Then a bit of quiet time to gaze out my favorite window and get ready for family day.

A time to reflect on all the growth over the last couple of decades.

A Red letter day!

The particular shade or tint of red depends on the degree of urgency needed to finish up all my bright ideas.

I'm off and running to take advantage of the nice weather.

The wheel barrow awaits and the weeds certainly don't.

Laundry is an ongoing chore.

And then there are summer's fruits.

Maybe if I get things finished I'll be able to enjoy some of those wonderful cinnamon hearts that always remind me of my wonderful childhood. Maybe I'll even get a chance to play. 8)

And just maybe I'll get a chance for a real live grown up tea party!

What is black and white and read all over?

Hump Day!

I leave the starting gate Monday morning and begin the week's ambitious ascent. I climb Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Thursday, I am poised at the point, the pivot, the peak to check out the scenery. Then begins the slippery slope as I rush down Friday, Saturday, to Sunday.

This is a look at reality which to my mind can only be viewed in black and white.

I luv the planning, especially if I can hit a great office supply store to purchase new colour coded supplies. Then I like to do an in depth cleaning so I can start fresh, a new beginning so to speak.

The reality is that I procrastinate. I don't always finish what I start, and definitely not immediately.

AHEM! Used to!

I'm growing up finally. I'm a big girl who can take responsibility for her own actions. An old gal, who can see the calendar pages are running low.

So much to do. So much stuff to do it with. No room for elaborate and colour coordinated command centres. The decluttering is making those fresh starts quicker and easier to gallop out of that starting gate with gusto.

Time to refocus. That happens, Thursdays, Hump Day.

Time to gather all those ducks and get them back into their row.

And headed to that finish line!
