We spend life as a human being not as a human doing.
All of us in life need to feel in harmony with ourselves. As a human being it is important to be content with who we are. Most people need to be at peace with their sense of self.
Being
Enabling

Flowers on my kitchen table
Pasha found an old notebook of mine, which apart from one page was empty! The only words were:-
Yesterday was yesterday.
The life before was just before.
Today was tomorrow.
I copied it from somewhere years ago. It was good to read it again.
Latest charity shop purchase - a moroccan table - I have always wanted one.
My obsession with candles gets worse.
On Thursday night I had a dream about lots of things but one was about a purple envelope but I couldnt read my name and address on it properly. Look what I came home to on Friday afternoon. My surname is spelt completely incorrectly and she just couldn't remember my address and had to hand deliver it. The letter was just from a friend but how spookily accurate was my dream.
Coloured shot glasses, cake stand and necklaces
The beautiful colours of these glasses and beads have really captured my eye today.
They are grouped together in a collection on table in my sitting room.
Pink roses from the children
As you know, the tag line on my blog is 'Lets go fly a kite'. I googled that in a dream dictionary and it said the following, which I really liked:-
To dream that you are flying a kite indicates that you are well-grounded despite your high aspirations and goals in life. You will reap the benefits of your hard work and determination regardless of the challenges faced in your current task. On the other hand, to dream of a kite may also epitomize your spiritual or innocent consciousness.
Have a lovely weekend xxxx
May you flutter in to your next chapter with love, peace and happiness.
I wanted to blog this beautiful watercolour that my cousin, Christie, painted for me. She framed it and on the back had written the above beautiful words that mean a lot to me. Thank you xx
Drinking straws
Yesterday in pictures.
Making cakes
Time for art
Sweets
Word for the day - spontaneity
Writing a play and dressing up
PS:- for those of you interested in shopping - none of you obviously - eh hemmm!!!
Sunday's purchase of school stationery from Wilkinson's included this small storage box £2.46.
The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers.
But above all, the world needs dreamers who do.

Summer holidays are a wonderous stretch of time that flies past so quickly.
This is what is in our lives at the moment.
Garden flowers from a very dear friend.
The perfume from an old fashioned rose.
Colourful cardboard shanty town - my three children were more excited about getting a big carboard box each than the neighbours were about getting their new furniture. Thanks to the Laura Ashley delivery men who opened the boxes up very carefully three houses were easily made (well one is a cross between a dalek and a tardis????)
Entertaining, candles and children gathering at the house.
Have a lovely day dreaming and doing xx
