Thoughts and Tales…A Lifestyle Blog with a Zing.
Our entire existence is magic.
When we wake up to a new morning, that’s magic.
When we watch the sun rise and set that is magic.
When we watch the beauty of nature,that is magic.
When we watch a beautiful flower bloom, that is magic.
When we listen to the chuckle and happy gurgle of a little child, that is magic.
To Love is Magic. It softens your heart to show kindness to others.
To Love is Magic, it makes you sensitive to others who form part of human existence.
Love is Magic because nothing transforms us like love and God is Love.
We are asked to keep it ‘Tiny,’ for this weeks’ photo challenge and I will keep mine symbolic.
Will you be that tiny light that offers a path to others, or would you extinguish it to ensure that others remain in the dark?
The choice is yours.

I just love the rustic, used look of these hardworking bicycles.

The word chaos automatically connotes messy and disorganized in our minds, but sometimes, things appearance can be deceptive.
The days are super busy and getting shorter with darkness that falls so quickly and early that by the time I get done and about to go catch a breather, it’s literally too dark.
No matter, it’s all good and I’ve been able to find times to sneak in some little time just to empty my mind and enjoy those moments of doing trivial things that relax and gives me pleasure like going to IKEA to buy a potted plant to give someone and of course eating there as well. Their food is so filling and delicious which is why there’s always one long queue of hungry people.
What have you been up to with your week? I hope that you find time in a hectic to unwind 🙂
On Thursdays, I share pictures about ‘Echos of my Neighbourhood.
I would like to invite you to participate. The challenge is quite simple and you can find out more about it through this link.

I stood under the street lamp with three bulbs watching the World go by and probably wouldn’t have paid much mind to it except when one of the bulbs started blinking and sizzling, now that caught my interest. I wonder what spooked the light 😉
During my walkabout, I came across this shop with the cute, funny looking guys. Their fixed smile made me smile, then I looked up at the board hanging on the door, which reads;
Believe you can and you are halfway there.
That simple quote settled in my mind.
It was like a confirmation. I felt I was meant to see that message because I had been tussling with some thoughts and doubting myself.
The owner probably put it up just as an aesthetic piece – or maybe those words mean something to him/her too, but I felt as though it was meant especially for me. Have you had such experience?
My Echoes this week has been more on my butt, making it flat writing posts for my new blog ‘The Art of Beautiful Expressions’ and curating photos to upload.
The weather is getting so lovely these day that it’s beauty beckons one to go out and explore and I intend to maximize the opportunity starting from this weekend.
Between the usual weekly runaround of trying to earn a livelihood to keep the body and soul together, keeping the family machine well-oiled and running, I clicked some photos for the week here and there, from a little adventure in a quaint elevator, running into a wedding party, speedy shopping…
Lady Lee shares some weekly smiles – a tasty platter made by her darling him indoors and gorgeous photos to feed the eyes.
Now, be a good neighbour and share yours with us 😉
