One can make good progress
if only you stick your neck out.
{and it looks as though yoga isn't for the faint of heart.}
Having to face my fear of flying last week...I was reminded by this guy that:
Any landing you can walk away from...is a good one.
{It's always a good thing to face things head on and let the issues just roll off our backs.}
But sometimes it is alright to want to close our eyes and hide while it passes too.
When you're having a bad hair day...food can comfort.
(although my choice would be chocolate.)
Don't ever let anyone tell you that you're not big enough to do something great...
....and sometimes when we stand alone is when we feel the bravest.
I'm glad to see that there are others who have days when they wish everyone would just leave them alone....
...as long as there are also days when we can bravely stand out and show the beauty of who we really are.
And never forget that:
Life would be a mundane affair if one didn't come out of their shell every so often.
Curiosity is a perfectly normal way to learn.
Have a wonderful day...and choose to make it great.

Beautiful photos and inspiring words, as usual, my friend.
I've been in my shell for a very long time. It's scary out there!
Pretty pictures - the duck is my favorite - just gorgeous!
Beautiful photos, Dawn! Love the colors in the mallard! The hummingbird is nice, too!
Ooooh, that little bulldoggie looks sooo dejected and sad. I think he needs a hug. Or a doggie biscuit to cheer him up.
You too, lots of wonderful reminders for this day.
Oh I always love your posts you make me think and your photos are always beautiful.

A well-illustrated fable for us today, Dawn.
Some serious words of wisdom!
Yes, standing alone, though scary initially, can quickly transform into bravery. As well as motivating to others.
Thanks Dawn!
