Lively Kites

Missed K so combining with L

I had the kites lined up for K but missed posting.  Kites were on my mind all of the week before and last week.

I knew I had some pictures tucked away for kites but couldn't find them. The Universe obviously wanted me to post on kites so while watching a movie on TV last week, a kite scene turned up.

And then I found my my picture. Taken in Gujarat India some years ago

And of course I had to paint kites but unfortunately all the paintings came out pretty bad.

Here is a thought I've been having on kites ..
Kites are a bit like life or shall I say life is like a kite
Its destiny lies in the hands of the one who holds its string but it has the free will to dance in the wind whichever way it wants to.

But enough on kites .. hope you all had a happy Easter. In NZ we had a 4 day weekend starting on Good Friday and ending on Monday. So we had 2 short work weeks. And yet it felt like a long week. I guess I had to pack in a lot in 4 days.

The clocks went back an hour today which means that it is now Autumn and Winter will be here soon. The weather has got cooler which is a blessing in some ways as it was a hotter than usual Summer and pretty dry too.

Following up from my previous post,  NZ voted to keep the current flag so no change.  It was quite close 921.876 for change and 1,208,702 to keep the current flag.   

Have a great week.

Journaling - What's Your Style?

Journaling in so many different ways

When I was little and all through my teens I used to write journals. And I enjoyed writing them at the time. Then one day I took them all and tore them up. I don't regret that. They served their purpose at that time.

Then along came the computer and the written journals  morphed into electronic documents which then morphed into online journals in the form of vision boards and private blogs. But writing takes time and when I started my public blogs,  my private blogs faded into oblivion.

And then I discovered Art Journals and they are so much fun. I try to journal weekly about something that catches my eye or my thoughts.

So here is this week's journal entry

Just do it - you might wonder why I used the scales as part of the journal. Just do it applies to both my children. One acts impulsively and just does it and the other analyses and procrastinates so much that often you have to say Just do it.  Balance is the key - think before you act but don't think too long.

And here is some art work I did some weeks ago - the Japanese Collection.

Frags this week

I am reading Wayne Dyer's "I Cam See Clearly Now"  It's a great book and there is much to learn from it.

Last weekend I had a leaky tap that flooded my kitchen bench and the dining room carpet was soaked. I had the plumber and carpet cleaner in to sort out the mess. The new tap looks shiny and the carpet looks very clean. Thankfully there was nothing more serious than that.

At present New Zealand is voting to change the flag or keep the old one. The new flag is on the left and the current flag is on the right. Let's see what the people will vote for.

The weather has been very erratic. We had 2 very cold days and I had to bring out my winter coats and now it's so hot, I have my fan on.

Time for some ice-cream.

Have a great week.
