Happy Birthday Nadia!!!
Happy Birthday Nadia!!! magnify




Instead of counting candles,
Or tallying the years,
Contemplate your blessings,
As your birthday nears.

Consider special people
Who love you, and who care,
And others who’ve enriched your life
Just by being there.

Think about the memories
Passing years can never mar,
Experiences great and small
That have made you who you are.

Another year is a happy gift,
So cut your cake, and say,
"Instead of counting birthdays,
I count blessings every day!"

~Joanna Fuchs~

Because time itself is like a spiral, something special happens on your birthday each year: The same energy that God invested in you at birth is present once again.

Beauty




BEAUTY
John Masefield

Have seen dawn and sunset on moors and windy hills
Coming in solemn beauty like slow old tunes of Spain:
I have seen the lady April bringing in the daffodils,
Bringing the springing grass and the soft warm April rain.

I have heard the song of the blossoms and the old chant of the sea,
And seen strange lands from under the arched white sails of ships;
But the loveliest things of beauty God ever has showed to me
Are her voice, and her hair, and eyes, and the dear red curve of her lips.

Story from a Painting Festival-3
Story from a Painting Festival-3 magnify




It’s a fact that yahoo has not been good to us in the recent times. The fact is also that, the rumors of yahoo evaporating into thin air with all our contents have died down. At least some of us here do not plan quit.

In the wake of all these facts, here is an attempt to revive the lost vigor.

Story/ poem/ interpretations/articles/painting or drawing responses from A Painting!!!

You can have poems, stories, articles and just about any creative input in response to your take on this painting, which I will be linking from the index I create from my page to yours.

This is also an occasion to observe the fascinating facts of the multiple dimensions of a painting.

This is also a celebration of the creative instincts which are present in each one of us.

The participants will post this painting along with their response, and inform me through the comments section of this blog or by a message.

I hope this festival is also as interesting as the previous 2 festivals.
