Oh Bliss

All is right in the world.
(OK slight overstatement)
But behold...


I loved Oscar Wilde's children's stories as a child, although I was totally unaware he was the author until my adult life.
My favourite was "The Happy Prince", even though it made me cry.
It is a beautiful story, all of his are.
So now to find that the wonderful Stephen Fry has voiced them is a true joy to behold. I am very happy indeed.
And although I know that I will weep when my disc arrives I will enjoy remembering my mother reading these stories to me.

Fry's site
is also well worth a visit. He Blogs and Twitters constantly.
I salute you sir!
And thank you for all the joy you have brought me over the years.
Long may it continue.

When all else fails...

The Visual Affirmation is not working as I'd hope.
This usually does the trick.
Stunning and Motivating

(Watch in High Quality)

Affirmation

DeviantArt is where I go for pretty much all my image needs.
To collect beautiful images, or use as wallpaper, but mainly inspiration , and a great way to spend some time..

Nature Finds A Way by Aeires

This is my usual wallpaper - I love it so much.
Plus it brings some greenery into the room during winter.

This is my motivational one. To remind me that I am a Fire Dragon in the Chinese Zodiac. I don't have to be so scared all the time.

Fire Dragon By Vladstudio

I can not recomend it enough.

Life

Life has never really been "normal" for me.
Recently "Life" has been praying on my mind a lot.
And been brought into sharp focus
Not pretty.

I've thought a lot about life and death
What it means to be living
What it means to die.

What my life is truly about
And is it all worth it?

At the moment it does not feel that way.
My friends and journalling have helped some.
I hope it feels better soon.

Another tool I have found very helpful recently is Deviantart
So here is something that kind of fits

Life and Death by Liol

I'm Back...I Hope

I can't believe it's been so long since my last post!
I know I've not been the best blogger but still.

I have been very ill and dealing with a lot, hence the - ridiculously - long absence.

I hope to improve and be back posting regularly.

Stay tuned...
