Why "Traveller's Joy" ?
When I started this blog in May 2007,
it was for the sole purpose
of staying in touch
with friends and family while
we traveled
to Europe for three months.
I am still staying in touch.
"Traveller's Joy" clematis vitalba:
Wildflower found throughout
southwest Europe/Africa.
Used for medicinal purposes
and found "climbing and covering"
the roadsides of Europe.

....................................
We spend January 1
walking through our lives,
room by room,
drawing up a list of work to be done,
cracks to be patched.
Maybe this year,
to balance the list,
we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...
not looking for flaws,
but for potential.

There's so much I'd try to do. There just wouldn't be time enough to do them all.
Mark Twain said a lot in two of his quotes; "“Sing like no one's listening, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching, and live like its heaven on earth.” And "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
I do try to incorporate them both in my life. The second one is perhaps a bit harder to incorporate into my life than the first one but so much more gratifying, exciting, and rewarding in the long run.
M, if I had your talent for photography and writing, I'd do what you're doing and publish a book for others who love to travel "close to the ground." That means experiencing the people and culture, not just viewing them.
The pictures of the sunflowers are spectacular and SO VanGogh!
Ruth! Good to hear from you! - I will share a secret...with digital photography there is no reason why everyone is not a good photographer. I am not "a good photographer", only willing to look more closely and feel a photo before taking it, so I am a "good looker"! So "sunflowers with the sky in the background" = How it would look if I held the camera below and shot upward?
I would be fit and at a healthy weight.
