Thoughts and Tales…A Lifestyle Blog with a Zing.
Just a gentle nudge to prod you into sending me some post links to feature.
It’s a two way traffic of supporting each other and it gives me something to do 😉
So feel free to drop your LINKS IN HERE.
Don’t be shy about it, I don’t bite 😉
You are most welcome and thank you too.

Was it worth the Price?
30 pieces of silver!….
To betray the man you called Master
The one who loved you
And whom you claimed to love!
I dare say not!
Is it worth the price?
The pain of her pleading wail
The shredded heart and rend pieces
That could never be put together again
You betrayed for a few pieces of notes
I dare say not!
Is it worth the price
To walk in the path of light
To look up above and see Christ
As he guides us aright
Leading gently, if we choose to follow
I dare say yes!

I totally curbed my zeal in going photo bombing with today’s photo 101 theme ‘Architecture and Monochrome’ in  a city that is an architectural delight.
Buildings sprout like mushroom in this place and each with it’s loveliness in intricacy or even simplicity.
The sprinkling weather of today, curbed my clicky fingers delight, so, I have a mix of new and old.
Some were tweaked in black and white for comparison and in as much as I like both, I think I will naturally gravitate to the bright colours like a happy butterfly 🙂
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.
Each Tuesday, share your very short snippets of positive, inspiring, motivating, health, spiritual, writing advice, clips, posts etc, that can serve as a prop to motivate others and simply add my link to your post.
I call it my thinking corner because, I actually take out a bit of time just to think through things, encapsulate my thoughts as much as possible and detoxify my mind. It helps give me clarity of vision and might help you too.
It might work for you in a different way, but the idea is to get the positive thoughts flowing.
Please send in your little thoughts. You never know whose life you might inspire.

Our last week thinkers brought in dollops of good thoughts:
Enlightenment from Dollops of Heedful Ramblings A sweet short quote that cuts into the meat of the matter.
Inspired Series from Seye never leaves me empty handed. I always come away richer.
Simple Power from Kay. You need a shot of this. Never underestimate the strength of your words.
Thank you to all the contributors. May these words take roots in our lives and may our harvest be bountiful 🙂
‘So, when will you share those nuggets of wisdom of yours?’
*P.S. I know that I read more thinking thoughts from other bloggers than those listed above, but for some reason, I can’t find the ping backs to some of them. Please give me a heads up if your’s is not showing here.
I Need Your Links Please. Thank You 🙂

Today’s featured blogs are:
Spring cleaning from Joy Indestructible, a beautiful piece of writing. To borrow some of Pam’s words,
Not wanting to go back I tarry long, gathering each hue;
Spring-cleaning of mind and reorganizing heart’s closet,
Letting go the old and making room for new life deposit.
My dearest Pam is one of my biggest props in this place. I call her my sage one. She needs our prayers and support. Please look in. That’s why we are a community.

Mama, are you saying thatÂ
I really have to take a shower
Before I get to play?
The pair of words: ‘Shower and Play’  Ronovan gave us for this week brought a smile to my face.
It reminds me of certain conversation that goes on in my household between me and my youngest.
With sweet wide eyes  looking at me full of expectations that he will get a pass.

To grow we need to take ‘positive risks’ in our pursuits and keep pushing the bar up.
If we don’t push the bar, we stagnate and become redundant.
It’s definitely needful to think through our steps and not to jump into impulsive actions that would only negate our efforts, however, over-processing can equally be a buzz killer and source of procrastination.
You may experience bumpy take-offs, even sustaining the momentum could get very turbulent, but clearly defining and redefining your goals, concentrating, caring about what you are doing and holding yourself accountable will lead you to your desired post.
Keeping these things in the front of one’s mind helps keep you grounded and stable.
You’ve got to care enough to make it worthwhile.

Friends are family and gifts that we choose for ourselves.
They make us laugh a little harder, cry a little less and smile a lot more.
They are the rainbows and sunshine of our lives.

Finding pop was not as easy as I anticipated. Hmm! The Photo 101 themes are getting tricky.
I had to look in-house and out-house for any relatively satisfying pop.
My meandering made it starkly obvious that we love rich, vibrant textures here and the shinier, the more attractive it seems.
Anyway, I managed to scrounge for a few popping items *at least in my eyes*.
