Sunday Selections ... Textures and Colours in Nature - Raindrops

Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim or Frogspondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files.

The meme is now continued by River at Drifting through Life. The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent. Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to River.

I love roses, we have a few bushes in our back garden which are going crazy with the Spring weather. It's also no secret (to my family anyways) that I love The Sound of Music and one of my favourite songs, is of course, My Favourite Things.

So without further ado, I give you, straight from the song ... raindrops on roses (and a few other places too).

Thanks for popping by xxx 

Raindrops on roses

I have always loved the Sound of Music song 'My Favourite Things' and one of my favourite things really is 'raindrops on roses'.

The early morning autumn rains today blessed me with beautiful raindrops on the roses in my garden, so I thought I would share with you, enjoy.

Nice Sunday Afternoon

This afternoon my eldest daughter and I went to see Sex and The City. Splurged on Gold Class tickets. It was a long movie, but it didn't feel long, so it must have kept my attention.

I am not a big SATC fan, I don't mind bits and pieces but have never watch all the TV series episodes. My daughter is a huge fan. Overall is was entertaining, some of the humour I found a little ho hum, but it kept true to the characters.

Charlotte's confession about how she felt about being a mother touched a cord with me. Had to laugh at her 'how do Mums without help do it?' line.

I like the fact the the girls all look their age and maybe Liza could learn a thing or two from them. I mean how plastic is that face, I am surprised she could sing at all. And maybe she was just miming.

So all in all a great relaxing afternoon for the last day of my holidays.

Another New Blog

I have decided to create a new blog called the half full glass, it has been on my mind for a while and I had convinced myself it was just silly, but I have decided to give it a go and see what happens. This blog will only have posts that are inspirational, fun, or talk about how we can attempt to see the glass as half full. I am happy to post for other people either anonymously or under their names and look forward to everyone contributing if they think they have sometimes that might make others feel good. We will see how it goes. Would love to know what you think about the idea.

Autumn

I just love these crisp Autumn mornings here in Perth, I actually get to put my coral fleece dressing gown on and not feel too hot. I can bask in the sunshine and not feel like I am getting burnt. The dreaded easterly winds are now down to a gentle breeze.

Change is coming, you can feel it in the air. Winter is not far away with its rain and gales, but on an autumn day like this my soul and spirit are refreshed.

How I wish it could be autumn all year long.

Feeling Good

Well things are finally falling into place and for the first time ever I was able to lay on my back for a whole hour of kinesiology with no pain - that's right none. That was on top of yesterday spending at least an hour and a half on my feet shopping with my daughter at Ikea - no pain in my lower back or leg at all (pity about my feet but that is another issue which hopefully Simon solved today).

Then I went to have my massage straight after my appointment with Simon and Louise is over the moon about how nice and supple my lower back was and the huge knots that where there (she called them slabs of concrete the size of dinner plates on my very first visit) have broken down to tiny little spots which when she massages very easily smooth out. My right shoulder blade also had a huge knot behind it and over the last 3 weeks she has also worked on that and today again just a small little stubborn knot.

Simon also said I was glowing today, the best he has ever seen me - my eyes were bright, my skin looked good and he said that if he could read my aura we was sure that would be glowing too.

Now I wonder if it is because I also went to the hair-dressers this morning and she blow dried my hair straight rather than my curls - maybe that made me glow!

But no, I actually do feel a lot better, in fact I feel great.

I think it is a combination of the kinesiology with the massage plus the fact I have cut down my work hours somewhat then combined with the fact my hubby is home in Perth next week (which has me smiling), then I have the first Easter in a long time with all my family in one place. With all the planets in my life coming into alignment why wouldn't I be feeling good.
