"Me and my shadow

We're closer than pages that stick in a book

We're closer than ripples that play in a brook

Strolling down the avenue

Wherever you find him, you'll find me, just look

Closer than a miser or the bloodhound's to Liza

Me and my shadow"
Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr

Today we had very little sunshine.
I went shopping in Reading, so I did not see
very much of the outside world.
I was lucky for the 5 minutes when the sun did
come out I was walking between shops.
So out came the camera and hey presto, I have a shadow photo.
Normally the silhouette would be sylphlike (I wish).
However, the shopping seems to be showing up rather well too!

"Always leave enough room in your life to do something that makes you happy, satisfied, or even joyous."
Paul Hawken

Take time today to think of what makes you happy. Yes I know your family do, let's look deeper!

On my first post on this Blog I said that my word for 2008 is FREEDOM.
Over the past 29 days I have been trying to find some of that freedom.
My goal is to be able to say ‘no’ if I am asked to commit my
time when I have already planned to do something just for me.
Often in the past I have said ‘yes’ when I have really thought NO.
I have made some advances in achieving that goal and certainly
have more time to be happy doing all the things I love to do!

"You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"
Dirty Harry

Well I did not feel lucky last night!!!

However, today is a new day and I know that I am lucky

because the sun is shining. Colin and I have been for a great walk

around our lovely village ending up in a friend's beautiful garden.

And they say women can talk!!!!!!
