Picture Perfect Friday ~ Reflections

 

Reflecting back on my life ~ it is like the Beatles' song ~

there are places in my life...  Yes, and people..... 

Many wonderful people and places. 

My son and his wife were married in July of 2000

on the Island of Santarini in Greece. 

It was a wonderful trip.  It was a wonderful time for me

involving people I love so much!  I loved it! 

And as I reflect back over my life,

it is a time I remember as one of my happiest!

This is a picture of my daughter I took while we were on the island. 

It was made with a Sony FD83 Digital Camera.

(Clicking on picture will bring up full size picture)

 

Reflect upon your present blessings -

of which every man has many -

not on your past misfortunes,

of which all men have some. 

~ Charles Dickens

Most true happiness comes from one's inner life,

from the disposition of the mind and soul.

Admittedly, a good inner life is difficult to achieve,

especially in these trying times.

It takes reflection and contemplation and self-discipline.

~ William L Shirer

    She's beautiful just like her mama...... I know how hard it was for you to leave that time and place .....the past has many happy memories to reflect on.....but the tomorrows look so bright it's hard not to see the reflections from the future as the best is yet to come.

    Wait .. . I'm suspended in thought by the great song.

    Wow, I'd forgotten how great the words to that song were. Now, I'm drifting through my own set of reflections across the many people who have come and gone in my life.

    Hmmm . . . that's what you were after, wasn't it?

    Damn . . .

    Perfect song choice Linda. What a wonderful treasure of a memory to have, to be able to pull out and smile when ever you want.
    The Dickens poem is one we all should have near.
