Double Monday

After having a public holiday yesterday, today feels like the second monday for the week "Oh Bother" as Winnie the Pooh would say. Taking my head out of the honey jar, I have much planned for today because its a short week. Yesterdays bowling went so-so which means neither very good nor very bad, but a successful ending to a great day out. As my bowling team said on our way home from the tournament, and tomorrow we find ourselves doing it all again, absolute gluttons for punishment indeed! I have tried to pop over to many of my friends here - will be doing some pit stops during the day while sewing and before I head off to bowls again. I would love to hear about any positive happenings in your life at the moment - share them! To anyone feeling a little poorly - Get well soon or just chin up "This too shall pass" "Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well." ~ Vincent van Gogh My water lilies photograph looks a lot like one of his paintings. Just beautiful.

I like van Gogh's quote. He was a pretty troubled man though wasn't he?

I love Vincent Van Gogh paintings, those depicting starry nights are among my favorite.

@Inlemay I agree, those pictures are so beautiful. He was a crazy man, but surely he knew how to paint.

It's always jolting to come back to regular responsibilities after a holiday... Even if it's only a day away. I can not bowl, though somehow I manage to get a strike every now and then. The photograph is very stunning.

That is a wonderful photo! Positive? I played table tennis for an hour and a half today, won some, lost some, had a lot of laughs.

All of Japan except my school and maybe a few others had a holiday on Monday. I could have used one, but we get Spring Break for all of next week. I'm looking forward to that.

Love the photo! Positives in my life... well right now I'm just so glad that I live here and can enjoy watching the spring unfolding day by day, and can expect to be here to see what happens tomorrow and even next week, rather than somewhere like Syria or Yemen.

I almost expect to see a frog jumping onto the lilies.

Water lilies are so beautiful, I always try to take photos of them when I see them.
