Shades of Green

Green is the colour of nature.

The colour of Mother Nature

The colour of Life and energy.

It symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility.

Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety.

Dark green is also commonly associated with money.

 

…. just look at these different greens….

so many shades

 

 

and many different shapes and textures.

 

 

Green is relaxing for me, it feels warm, yet fresh.

However I do not have many outfits in green.

Do you love green?

What is your favourite colour?

Today’s Inspiration – Khalil Gibran

Generosity is giving more than you can,

And pride is taking less than you need.

Today’s Inspiration – Khalil Gibran

I am lately taking pictures out of my window of the beautiful sky

because of the lovely colours or clouds.

They go so well with some chosen quotes for a little inspiration.

 

 

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet

and the winds long to play with your hair.

 

Khalil Gibran

 

Go out and experience it, it makes you feel good!

Have a wonderful day!

 

 

Today’s Inspiration – Albert Camus- Autumn

Some are starting already!

 

 

Autumn is a second Spring when every leaf is a flower.

Kew Gardens 1st smile

In my post from 4th August I shared with you that I had become friends with Kew Gardens.

 

Last weekend

the sun was shining,

birds were singing,

and I felt free.

I made a quick decision

to visit Kew Gardens.

 

What a good choice!

I was greeted with this view.

 

Behind the Palm house was the rose garden.

For today I like you to go with me to smell the roses.

Forget the business and enjoy the smells and colours!

There is so much more……

Soon more from Kew Gardens

 

Laughter

Laughter is the pole

that adds balance to our steps

as we walk the tightrope of life.

Laughter is the best medicine:

Why Laughing Is Good for Your Health. An old Yiddish proverb says, “What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul.”

A good laugh can be compared to a mild workout, as it exercises the muscles, gets the blood flowing, decreases blood pressure and stress hormones, improves sleep patterns and boosts the immune system.

 

 

so here is today’s dose for you:

Sleep with an open window tonight!

1400 mosquitoes like that.

420 mosquitoes commented on it.

210 mosquitoes shared this.

One mosquito invited for the event. 2800 mosquitoes will be attending the event.

 

Have a fun day and laugh a lot!
