The day’s job is done and as the Sun sets, it’s time to take a breather, sitting in a yoga pose and having a chit-chat.

Life – Word Wednesday
Tuesdays Trickles – My Thinking Corner.
Every Tuesday, I share snippets of thoughts that I call ‘My Thinking Corner.’
I would like to invite you to participate. The challenge is quite simple. You can check this link for more details.
Most times, finding out who we are beneath the physical attributes which encase our being is the most difficult and profound journey that we can ever embark on, yet self-discovery is the most rewarding journey of all.
The difficulty experienced by most while on this path is the ability to turn off all the outside noise and to search within. To shut their eyes to all the external fluff and see through the eyes’ of their soul.
Sometimes, we’ve got to cut off a lot of the mindless activities that we crowd our mind with because they tend to drown out our inner voice and leave us with nothing.
Sometimes, we’ve got to simply breathe and learn to live.

Rush – Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Challenge
Mama says you must rush
don’t lark about,

Hiding Out – A Click A Day
I spied these feline’s hiding out under the shrubs, watching the humans as they walk past.
Devalued Vows…
Matthew said her love no longer had value
and tossed Sue aside for a damsel down the avenue
she drained his savings with a vacuum
till he was thoroughly devalued.
He crawled back to Sue with his broken vows
she simply would have none of that and told him ‘ciao’
go back to your mistress, she’s got face value
unfortunately, her attributes are skin-deep shallow.

Losing Them, Finding Them – Mundane Monday
Mundane Monday Challenge is created to find beauty in almost everything.
The challenge is simple. Find beauty in everyday mundane things, capture the beauty and upload the photographs.
I had my mind set on another photo for today’s mundane Monday, but after the run around my car keys gave me, I felt they deserved a worthy mention this morning.
I had absentmindedly dropped the keys on the settee when I got home instead of hanging them on the hook where we keep keys and it decided to hide in the crevice of the cushions.
Phew! I had to search all my handbags and odd places, went downstairs to check if the car was still there ;-0 , retraced my steps, conversation, and actions before finally finding the dodgy thing. These are no simple keys! They have the power to detain you and make you stew a bit.

Midnight Motivations and Musings 111
There comes a time when the ‘use by date’ of some people in our lives expires and we have to let them go. Those who can’t stand to see your progress, whose main roles as the Negative Nancy’s and Ned’s is to discourage and remind you of a hurtful past, as a way to keep you pegged under their thumbs and forever cloaked in self-doubt.
These people exercise mind control over you and subconsciously, you are allowing them to manipulate your life one way or the other – when you have to hope for moral support that is never forthcoming, hide your true desires, or reduce yourself before them, in order to accommodate their scoffing disbelief, peevishness and other symptoms that they tend to exhibit, it’s time to put them to pasture and walk away. Not every friendship is built to last and have a fairytale forever ending.
