><>..Like A Fish Out Of Water..<><


Feeling a little like a fish out of water lately.
or should that read still?

I'm sure it's still Sunday somewhere in the world.
I vowed to post a SOOC shot this weekend...if it killed me.
{{{ok...perhaps THAT is exaggerating a little}}}
Better late than never is my mantra at the moment...

...that and...
'I'm in my place of Zen. I am calm, I am in control, I am f@cking kidding myself AND it is working for me at this present moment in time!'
'I'm in my place of Zen. I am calm, I am in control, I am f@cking kidding myself AND it is working for me at this present moment in time!'
'I'm in my place of Zen. I am calm, I am in control, I am f@cking kidding myself AND it is working for me at this present moment in time!'

Repeat mantra to self whilst focusing on calming image (See above photo)
(It helps at this point, if you can lock any distractions such as children, pets and partners on the other side of a door!)

In my case they were all INSIDE the house, I was OUTSIDE and the patio door was locked!
The sun was setting over my back fence and...

I was drawn to this fish windchime and the way it looked against the setting sun.

Do you know,
that if you put your iPod(or whateva you have!)headphones in,
and turn suitably chosen music up,
That you can go just about anywhere your imagination can take you!

I am this fish out of water presently,
out of my comfortable safe water,
swimming against the current of resistance,
but I know the strong, tumultuous current shall ease eventually
and the calm still waters will return.
I shall take respite in that calm when it comes, knowing it will change again only too soon.
I shall be grateful for the changing waters
because we all know that still water eventually becomes stagnant.
I will no longer swim against the current of change.
I will go with the flow.
With less resistance comes the ability to lift ones eyes to look around for the positives that the change brings.


From my current iPod Playlist


This takes me to a cruisey, mellow place
~~~~~~~~~~


This makes me wanna get up and groove, it lifts my spirit.
~~~~~~~~~~
Why does it lift my spirit?


.....because it makes me think of this AWESOME wedding entrance.
~~~~~~~~~~
If my husband could dance, he'd almost be perfect....
(I said ALMOST ~winks~)


AND
To be brief~HA me brief~ ROTFLMAO

I have a house dripping with teenage hormones.
The teenagers are revolting!
LITERALLY
Obnoxious, selfish, self~centred, disrespectful...I could go on BUT!
Add to the mix the 'run-a-way' from home moments
AND the truant from school moments
ADD the smoking moments
AND the jump out the window to meet my mates moments....
.....and you pretty much have my life at the moment!
{{{SIGHS}}}


♥Little messages like this help♥

So the other day I woke up and my hands started to get real shaky....you know the kind of shakes when you really know you need a low fat, double espresso, no whip, no foam, venti caramel macchiato? Then I realized it wasn't the coffee...it was just that I was missing you (:

How have you been,
miss you,
Hugs,
Lisa

This woman is AMAZING!
Thinking about the trials she and her family have had to, and do, endure
sends me to the kitchen to serve myself
a large cup of
'Shut the F@ck up'
and a plate of ' Remember what she's got going on'!

☺ Lighting Up My Life On SOOC Saturday/Sunday ☺

DIZZY WITH L♥VE
Lighting Up My Life Tonight.
Baby She-Devil and her bestie, having fun with light sabers bought
from the visiting Fair (carnival).
I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and am practicing with
different settings on my camera. I'm fond of the Aperture (A) mode
on my camera. Tonight I worked with  the Shutter speed (Tv) mode.
Love how this turned out.
Woohoo me for coming out of my comfort zone. 
Believe me THAT is a biggy at the moment considering the
pressure the universe seems to be placing on me at the moment.
See this post for a little insight to what the universe has sent to test me of late.
{{Hence my absence from SOOC Saturday last week}}
Pressure can be a good thing so I am embracing it...if it can turn coal into diamonds,
I wonder what it can do for me!
I like that I am becoming better acquainted with my camera.
Speaking of which...you need to pop over to Melody's @ Slurping Life and check out
the photos of others great photographers.
Slurping Life
We share SOOC (Straight Out Of Camera~no editing allowed)Shots

Give it a go.....and let me know how you went :0)
Document it....blog about it....then leave me a message if you'd like.
Include a link in a message so I can see how you challenged yourself.
If I was a little less blurry from the pain meds I am taking at the 
moment I might have investigated how to insert a Mr Linky application.
The next challenge to tackle :0) has just presented itself LOL.

Embracing Challenges
Thanks for stopping by
