You say you love the rain, but you open the umbrella. 

You say you love the sun, but you're looking for a shady corner. 

You say you love the wind, but you close the windows. 

That's why I'm scared when you say you love me.

~ William Shakespeare ~

Have a great Thursday.  Jazz

Hello, Malika, I'm stopping by your house to wish you

a wonderful, special Thursday, just like

your friendship. Have a great day, filled with

love, smiles, and peace. May your day

be blessed. I leave you with smiles

and warm kisses, Maria. Take care.

Elegance is a radiant inner peace. 

Grace is the ability to give, receive and thank. 

Mystery is a hidden laugh always ready to emerge! 

Glamor only radiates if there is a sublime courage 

and bravery within: glamor is like the moon; 

it only shines because the sun is there.

I was reminded as I wash cleaning out a storage closet that I used to enjoy photography when I was in college. I was in a photography club. I mostly did black and white for color has its own challenges with developing. It came in handy when I was an architecture student and took pictures of bridges and buildings of some significant history. Eads bridge in St. Louis was one of them completed in 1874.

 This picture was taken last year. It pioneered the use of steel for use in large scale structures instead of iron. Last time I used my camera was for taking pictures for my cousins wedding. Lucky for them I did for the guy they asked to do all their photos, none of them turned out.   

Maybe someday I will pick it up again. But for now just playing some jazz favorite tunes and wishing you a wonderful Wednesday.  Jazz

Hello, Malika,  Good morning, midweek,

Wednesday, in 7 days, we'll be back

to the same thing, so have a positive day,

and may you be successful, with a beautiful

smile that your face will appreciate.

Blessings, my dear friend, enjoy

your day. I leave you with smiles and warm 

kisses,  Maria---------------

On line visiting you on Boomer my friend.  Hope we are listening and sharing the same music tonight.  It would certainly warm up this cold cloudy Tuesday.  Thinking of you.  Jazz  

"Don't think about improving the lives 

of other people who don't even deserve you, 

instead, focus on making your life the best, 

for you and those who love you.

Hello,  even though my night, and my day, was torture, I bid you farewell, for today sleep

 early is the best investment so that tomorrow pays off in smiles.

Don't underestimate your pillow, it's the most patient therapist of the night. Sweet dreams,

Maria, kisses
