On Living: Aha moments from a TV Series

Never leave that till tomorrow, Benjamin Franklin said who shared with the world the secret of his success, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say.... I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our parents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. Life is an never ending journey of smokey mirrors. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying.

And the pain??? Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we're wired that way. Because without it, I don't know... maybe it just wouldn't feel real. What's that saying? Why do we keep hitting ourselves with a hammer? Because it feels so good when we stop? (Just a funny way to look at it)- Grey's Anatomy

Wanderlust

I love vintage travel posters

the graphic imagery

the vibrant colors

the enticing

and exotic visual lures encouraging you to travel to foreign lands

to ride a camel

hop on a Vespa to the countryside

or simply have a picnic in an urban jungle.

Travel posters were of great importance in the early mid-20th century,but have become a lost art.

* This post is dedicated to a great friend who is celebrating her birthday where vuvuzelas are currently blaring because of the crazy world cup season.

Happy birthday my dear Rap! Your tickled mole gave me the nudge to embrace my love for travel.

And I Quote

“…I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less.”- Anna Quindlen

It’s nice to be reminded that life isn’t supposed be a well-oiled machine. That it’s okay if I’m not always thinking two steps ahead. Living in the “now” is messy, crazy, and usually out of control…but I find it’s also the most fun.
