I Have Found Such Joy In Things That Fill
I have found such joy in things that fill
My quiet days - a curtain’s blowing grace,
A growing plant upon a window sill,
A rose fresh-cut and placed within a vase,
A table cleared, a lamp beside a chair.
And books I long have loved beside me there.

There is no calm like a quiet sea a space of stillness under the width of sky. A gently shifting flow of shadow. A silvering. A breathing silence that restores the heart.
Pam Brown 1928
The place where I want to be!
Library of Vienna
Don’t evaluate your life in terms of achievements, trivial or monumental. along the way..... Instead wake up and appreciate everything you encounter along your path. Enjoy the flowers that are there for your pleasure. Tune in to the sunrise, the laughter, the rain and the birds. Drink it all in ....there is no way to happiness; happiness is the way.
Dr Wayne W Dyer
To Be Present In All One Does
“To be sensual is to respect and rejoice in the force of life itself. and to be present in all that one does, from the effect of loving to the breaking of the bread.”
Taking Time To Just Be
Look to the day! For it is life, the very life of life. In its brief course lie all the varieties and realities of your existence: the bliss of growth, the glory of action. the splendour of beauty. For yesterday is already a dream and tomorrow is only a vision but today, well-lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day! Such is the salutation of the dawn.
FROM THE SANSKRIT
There is, perhaps, no solitary sensation so exquisite as that of slumbering on the grss or hay, shaded from the hot sun by a tree, with the consciousness of a fresh light air running through the wide atmosphere and the sky stretching far overhead upon all sides
Leigh Hunt (1784-1859)
The Great British Pub
Nothing finer than sitting by a roaring fire, while you sip a pint of your favourite beer....
According to the Campaign for Real Ale, 21 of our finest pubs are closing every week. Shocking. A pub is like a church, the heart of the community, with barstools instead of pews.
Long Live The Local!
Do We
Do we need to make a special effort to enjoy the beauty of the blue sky? Do we have to practice to be able to enjoy it? No, we just enjoy it. Each second, each minute of our lives can be like this. Wherever we are, any time, we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other. We don’t need to go abroad to enjoy the blue sky. We don’t have to travel to enjoy the sunshine. We can be in touch with these things right now.

Every year me and my family go to The South Of France. In August every year the local villages hold their own festivals. Two years running now Pomerols, village in South Of France, didn't have their own festival. A pity as the festival is entertaining and enjoyable to watch. However I was able to take images of the Festival Des Animaux Toteniques 2019!
