Your life can change in an instant

Your life can change in an instant so enjoy this Friday it might very well be your last!

A couple of weeks ago I attended a wedding shot by Tyrone Crossman, who I understand is a very sought after “Indian” wedding photographer.

I had my little Canon South Africa GX3 camera with me a took a few snaps…

The bride’s humour seemed to change, not instantly, between snap 1 and snap 2 (taken 10 minutes later).

In her defence load-shedding by Eskom kicked-in affecting the church and the car in which she was waiting did not have it’s air-con on…

The Blood Moon

‘Fifty-four years after releasing their debut album,The Rolling Stones are in the recording studio working on their next one.

When Keith Richards was asked why, at the age of 74 with over $300million in the bank, he feels the need to write a new album, he replied, “If I’m not composing, I’m decomposing.”

Richards was then asked “But don’t you find it stressful working 12 hours a day at the age of 74?” He replied: “Stress isn’t working 12 hours a day doing a job you love. Stress is working 8 hours a day doing a job you hate.”

Harvard psychologist Shawn Achor says that the happiest people are those that express themselves and create everyday ….. whether this is a song, a soufflé, a spreadsheet …. or whatever …. the choice is yours’ ~ Sunil Bali

The passing of the Blood Moon over Durban South Africa would just not feel right for me unless I got a bit creative.

Live a life you will remember!

Live a Life You Will Remember 2018_ (Large)

Tim Bergling better known by his stage name Avicii was a Swedish musician, DJ, re-mixer and record producer.

Yesterday he died age 28.

Below is a section of his song “The Nights”. He also said I want to be remembered for the life I lived not the money I made…

One day my father—he told me,

“Son, don’t let it slip away.”

When I was just a kid I heard him say,

“When you get older

Your wild life will live for younger days

Think of me if ever you’re afraid.”

He said, “One day you’ll leave this world behind

So live a life you will remember.”

My father told me when I was just a child

These are the nights that never die

My father told me”

A Blessing

“May the blessing of God’s soft rain be on you,
Falling gently on your head, refreshing your soul
With the sweetness of little flowers newly blooming.
May the strength of the winds of Heaven bless you,
Carrying the rain to wash your spirit clean
Sparkling after in the sunlight.
May the blessing of God’s earth be on you,
And as you walk the roads,
May you always have a kind word
for those you meet” ~ Irish Blessing

Dreamtime

“Happiness is actually found in simple things, such as taking my nephew around the island by bicycle or seeing the stars at night. We go to coffee shops or see airplanes land at the airport” ~ Andrea Hirata

I saw a photo by Štefan Štefančík photography on Pexels – Free High Quality Photos and it really caught my eye. It was of an airplane, free to use and I thought let me play around and add in an interesting sky i.e. lightning!

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain
