Lost in Translation
Looking for meanings in words, images and sounds
Thursday’s Special: Sharing
Here are the words to live by:
“The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind.”
– Ella Wheeler Wilcox
When you share and connect with each other I hope it is brought on by genuine interest, and that words and messages exchanged are honest and kind. Happy Thursday!
**About Thursday’s Special: It is a ‘non-challenge’ challenge that appeals to bloggers eager to wake up their creativity and show their own ideas and interpretation of the world. I invite everybody interested to join in. There are no themes, titles and techniques set for your expression, there are no limits and restrictions (no red tape whatsoever). The only thing required is to post a photo post on Thursdays entitled “Thursday’s Special: (your theme/title)” (as explained in my Thursday’s Special introductory post), to provide a link to my Thursday’s Special post, and to leave a link to your post in the comments section of my post. If you like Thursday’s Special widget, feel free to grab it and post it on your blog.

I’m alert! 🙂 Didn’t mean to nudge you so hard. I’m trying (and failing 😦 ) to get ahead of the game this week.
Oops, haven’t listened to the music yet. Pretty pine cone. Stay well, Paula 🙂
