“I really believe that everyone has a talent, ability or skill that he can mine to support himself and to succeed in life.” Dean Koontz
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? 😉

“A bargain ain’t a bargain unless it’s something that you need.” unknown
“Don’t find customers for your products. Find products for your customers.” Seth Godin
Don’t we all love a good bargain?
Even fella’s are not left out of it 😉

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.
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!!
On Thursday’s, I share pictures about ‘Echos of my Neighbourhood.
I would like to invite you to participate. The challenge is quite simple.
Every Thursday, share a photo of bits and pieces of wherever you are at any point in time. It could be a house, backgrounds of your neighbourhood, activities and so forth and you can tag it Echos of my Neighbourhood, add my link to your post so that I will get the ping from your post.
Every other Thursday, I will publish a post with the links of all those who participated the previous week.
This is just a fun way of getting to see more of the World around us through your eyes since we cannot all be at those places, we could, at least, see them through you.
I wonder how smooth these beauties drive.
Beautiful people
Dear Himself in a tete-a-tete.
A platter of this and that and good conversation washed down with date wine and Turkish coffee. Lovely evening 🙂
Milling around the food
Delicious 😉
Waiting and watching the children practice their Shotokan karate katas.
An enthusiastic sweet child 🙂
Watching the chef rustle up a meal on the go for me. Okay, I admit, I like food 🙂
Sizzling hot platter of pasta, shrimps, veggies, cheese and garlic bread. Yummy
Idling in traffic and watching the fountain change colour
Now the fountain is green
These are some bits and pieces of my past week, from taking children to Shotokan-karate classes, work, dinner blah, blah running helter-skelter, my wheel of life keeps rolling.
I absolutely love vintage and antique stuff. Unfortunately, I don’t have the pocket to afford them, but at least I can enjoy a good look at them, so it was a delight to run into this vintage cafe, where I can go and satisfy my eyes with eye-candy and take loads of photos 😉
I am happy that this week which has been so and so for me is coming to a close. My emotions hurtled from one end to the other all week, but a warm evening spent last night in the ambience of beautiful, intelligent friends does make one feel a lot better 🙂
We e-zoomed around various neighbourhoods on our laptops, pads, phones, and got a peek into what lovely folks are doing.
Giggles and tales: So much beauty of nature, people and fat gorgeous Cows and Geese. I like 🙂
Rosses of Donegal: absolutely gorgeous and dreamy views of Rosses area in County Donegal in North West Ireland.
Don’t horde the beauty of the life around you, just for yourself. Do share with us

“Dear stranger, you are lovely. Have a beautiful day today. With love from another Stranger.”
I went to the African store where I buy my condiments for our native food and for some reason, this man caught my eye. I don’t know why, but he simply did.

“It’s time for parents to teach young people early on, that in diversity, there’s beauty and there’s strength.” Maya Angelou
“No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” Nelson Mandela
The World is made beautiful by its diversity. We must learn to embrace the fact that others are different and have a right to be.
We should never allow the evil antics of misguided few to dictate how we relate as humans.

From the very first poem, “Dreams,” this book captivates with passionate and perceptive words. Jacqueline Oby-Ikocha captures a broad expanse of the human experience in this book of richly layered poems.

Yesterday, I had to get some bloodwork done at the hospital and despite not feeling my usual stellar self, my sense of observation did not leave me.
I watched the men in the photo walk past me, both scrolling through their phones and paying a little less attention to where they were headed.
Like a poorly written script, they missed the bold caution sign on the floor outlining the step down leading outside and the wheeled in chap took a bad tumble.
I presume he must have twisted something because his friend had to help him up, then got a wheelchair and brought him back inside.
The phone fascination is becoming a worrying trend.

“Age is no barrier. It’s a limitation you put on your mind.” Jackie Joyner-Kersee
As you get older, you become a classic and viewed with respect. It’s inevitable that we all go through this process (hopefully) and it’s a blessing to live long.
Let’s remain young at heart even when our body ages in other places:-)
