what do you see?

What do you see when you look at this photo?

I realised today that my perspective was all screwed up. You see, I saw fear, flight, running away, escape. Another woman with me saw strength, endurance and power.

This got me thinking. What has happened to my positivity? What happened to my ability to see the good side of things? When was it that I forgot to be happy and saw sadness and despair in everything?

I have a big challenge ahead of me. To change my perspective. To have a major attitude adjustment. To appreciate the little things, smile a little more and look for my good place.

And if you saw the same things that I did in that photo, then know that you are not alone. Maybe take the next step towards positivity, like I am trying so desperately to do.

i saw a confident woman, fit healthy in total control of herlife and surroundings.

i would love to 'help' you go back to your happy place - maybe old fashioned morning teas, a walk to the park, playing games with the kids - the world can wait some days - when you get back from france and NZ - take the time to stop!!!!!

maybe it was the treatment of the photo but i actually see somebody who is going backward and forward but in a very determined way - what does that say about me? (basket case probably)

love the latest piece of felt work - very cute and i especially love that the b&w is your cat's tail - so nice to have a break from wanky arty statements sometimes - why can't things be just plain old gorgeous?

and don't forget you're not alone.
