Daily Thoughts

Daily thoughts for a positive focus

About 3 weeks ago I started my Daily Thoughts series on my facebook page Suzy's Ilation. I also joined the #FMSphotoaday challenge for August featuring my daily thoughts.

I'm enjoying both the daily thoughts and the photo challenge heaps. The daily thoughts has helped me focus on the positive things in my life and the photo challenge has made me more observant.

So here's a round up of the last week for the photo challenge and my daily thoughts:

This was such a spectacular sky and quite strange too. Looked like a partial map of the world! What were the clouds trying to say? Taken from my dining room window just after dawn.

There's beauty in simplicity. There's not a lot in this picture, but it's one of my favourites. Probably because I love a vibrant pink. This was taken in my garden and lines up very nicely for the Thursday Challenge prompt "Simple"

Shed your load, don't pile it up. Eventually taking on load after load just wears you down.  This was taken at my local supermarket.

In the last few days so many random acts of kindness have come my way outlined in my Gratitude post on my Someday Somewhere blog. Why buses? Because the first random act of kindness is about a bus! I am truly grateful for random acts of kindness. This picture was taken from my workplace.

Featuring my favourite biscuit for the "spot" prompt. So glad I can find it in the Indian store in Welly. And from the prompt and the biscuit, came the thought of the day, keep spotting the good things in your life and life will look good all the time. Happy spotting.

I don't have any pet peeves now. Perhaps as I have grown older, my view of life has changed. But there was a time when one of my biggest pet peeves was someone rearranging my mess. I could never find anything once rearranged and tidied up. But people aren't out to be unhelpful or to purposely annoy. So now I don't let the little things annoy me.

Craziness

Craziness or just addicted to Challenges

I just finished a July Challenge via my blog Someday Somewhere and then having ignored this blog decided to take up a photo challenge for the month of August.

Is that craziness or is a challenge just too tempting to ignore?

So here it is, the first 2 days of the photo a day challenge:

Nature never ceases to amaze

.
Each meal that we eat, spare a thought for those who have none

Yashvasin

Should I choose Yashvasin for Y?

Lord Ganesha is one of the most popular and revered deities in India. All prayers start with Lord Ganesha and he is regarded as the remover of obstacles.

So while thinking of what to write for the letter Y at ABC Wednesday, I kept thinking of Lord Ganesha and then looking up the various names of Lord Ganesha I found Yashvasin which means "Beloved and ever popular Lord" and he is truly that amongst Hindus.

I held off for a while wondering if I should choose Yashvasin, when pictures of Lord Ganesha started to appear on TV and Facebook. So when the Universe acknowledges, then one must move in that direction.

I have a vast collection of Lord Ganesha idols. Each time I visit India I get many Lord Ganesha gifts. But here is one of my favourites - a little transparent Ganesha that changes colour.

the changing colours

May all your obstacles be removed today.
