Have some fun and be happy.

Movement of the people – Every day beautiful people 77

“Take action! An inch of movement will bring you closer to your goals than a mile of intention.” Dr. Steve Maraboli

“In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.” Deepak Chopra

“The more I traveled, the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.” Shirley Maclaine

‘One of the great things about travel is that you find out how many good, kind people there are.” Edith Wharton

I can’t say it enough, there’s nothing as interesting as observing people. You wonder who they are, where they are going, what’s their story etc.

In a microcosm such as the airport, the train, the buses, the malls, anywhere you can find a throng of people, it’s quite informative what you learn about someone just by looking.

Are they fussy, tantrum throwers, are the fidgety, composed, smiling, frowning?…. It’s a free movie!

Yikes! Scalping! – Every day beautiful people 76

“Sometimes, what we pay for looking good is not just paper currency but the price of discomfort.” Jacqueline Oby-Ikocha

I literally shuddered and ouched severally in my head as I watched this interesting scalp grooming.

It wasn’t the usual hair clipper that I see men use these days but a rather effective and shudder inducing switch blade that was pretty sharp and ran smoothly in the hands of the barber or is it hair stylist that the men call it? Not sure.

I doubt if I will be brave enough to submit myself for this.

The beautiful lady in the picture made a shopping experience wonderful. She was polite, engaging and very helpful despite all the questions I had to ask, she beamed with smiles all through.

With the advent of online hot news off the press, reading of traditional papers seems to have taken the back burner, but I still enjoy the crinkle of regular newspapers and poring over it at my own time and also enjoying the funnies and doing the crossword puzzles.

Online news just never feels the same to me. Do  you still read the newspaper?

“If you’re making mistakes, it means you are out there doing something.” Neil Gaiman

Man_wearing_quote_shirt[1]

The words on his T-shirt caught my eyes. It’s a familiar quote which says:

“No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.” Tony Robbins

The key word is to keep moving even it if it’s in snail progress.

In my usual meandering, I came across this man weaving his fishing apparatus by the Creekside and it was quite interesting to watch his dexterous fingers as he painstakingly wove his traps.

Unfortunately, his English was non-existent and I have no idea what language he spoke but from our sign language conversation, my understanding was that he learnt his skill and trade from childhood under the tutelage of his father.

“Relationships is certainly more than holding hands, more than going on dates, kissing and sex. It’s about accepting your partner’s flaws, warts and all and seeing the perfection in an imperfect person. It’s all about finding happiness with each other and being yourself.” Jacqueline Oby-Ikocha

Okay, so the imagination might be mine, but I like to imagine what people are saying as I enjoy watching them, so from the gentleman’s earnest gestures, I read:

“Trust me, darling, I’m yours to keep.”

Yeah, yeah, I’m a die-hard romantic, but where would we be without a bit of romance in our hearts? 😉

She is amazing at describing love and life in her poems. She creates such beautiful images with her words. Truly, she is a talented writer and I’m so excited to have her poetry book and to continue reading through it.

Daddy carriage…Every day beautiful people # 69

The photo of the man carrying his baby in his own style simply made me smile. It’s much easier to build a character and to mould strong babies when they are still young than to change a broken man.

Let’s use our God-given opportunities as parents to raise these children right. They are our future and the bridge to better tomorrow for humanity.

I absolutely love this book of poems. My favorites are “Love Rations” (for those who love to give the silent treatment) and “Beggars Supper” (which definitely pulls at the heart strings). Two thumbs up!!
