What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

whose presence  calls forth your best."

  1. If I followed that adage I would never attend a family gathering again.

  2. I would amend that slightly to 'regularly' keep company… Sometimes you have to spend your energy encouraging the best out of someone you don't necessarily regard as uplifting.

  3. What a beautiful picture, especially the Japanese anemones. I like the perspective of Tigger's Mum.

  4. To the quote I'd add, 'as far as possible', to make it a bit more practical! Not all 'the bad' can be cut off. So, the only option is the minimise it to negligible extents; and maximise the good.

  9. I can't tell you how many times I messed up and did not keep company with those who lift me up and made a big fat mess of my life. this quote is sooooo true... I wish my mother could see these hydrangeas. hers were blue and she loved this color pink, in fact she had so many dresses in this color, we now call the color Mother Dress Pink
