Where will our next adventure take us?

This is quite literally another world away ... looking back, I almost can't believe that my eyes had the privilege of seeing what they did!

Magical Santorini, you have my heart!

You can't see the donkey but I promise you it was there

I wish I'd posed properly (or dressed properly) to avoid looking like a duck wearing a sack

SAHMILE :)


I heard a clever little parable recently which struck a chord with me ...

There was once a little boy whose grandfather told him that there are two wolves which live inside of us. One is called Unhappiness, and the other, Happiness. They are in a constant, daily battle, fighting each other. The little boy asked his grandfather which wolf wins. The grandfather answered "The one you feed".

Our thoughts are not always to be trusted, because we are so good at telling ourselves lies and convincing ourselves to believe misconceptions that are derived from falsified 'truths' around us, and our own insecurities. When driving, we have blind spots; and in life, I believe we do too. If we're lucky enough to have someone looking out for us in the passenger seat, listening to their constructive advice can save us a lot of grief and a lot on our insurance.
