Joy Ride


Sometimes life is like a carnival ride, spinning you all about but always ending up where you started...



Or a trip down a fast moving river tossing you hither and fro as you attempt to find a sheltered harbour...



What ever comes your way and no matter how difficult the trip eventually the river will calm...




And there will be smooth sailing once again.
Welcome to April...

  13. Terrific photographs of your daughters, I do hope she is progressing well, no doubt she will be convalescing for awhile, so she'll be able to enjoy the Spring. That's a clever photo of the merry-go-round. Yes... don't we all recognise your words about life. I used to say, "I feel like I was holding all the cards and suddenly up in the air they went and came down all in a higgledy-piggledy pattern."

  16. Hello Susan,

    How succinctly and perfectly you express your thoughts. Life does indeed seem at times to blow one off course and make one follow a new direction. And yet, when one looks back, these times are seen as some of the most satisfying and rewarding in the long run.

    April does often seem to be a cruel month. New shoots are often beaten down by wind and rain but, in the end, there is still hope and promise of the year that is unfolding with all the surprises that it may bring.

    We have found our way here quite by chance but, happily, see in your commentators, some of our friends. We are followers!
