Catching Up

Catching up with Carmi's THEMATIC PHOTOGRAPHIC and Red as his  last week's theme
and SATURDAY'S CRITTERS.


Reset and Revive
It's what we do to catch up with things.




Somedoggy stole my seat!

"The dream was always running ahead of me. 
To catch up, to live for a moment
in unison with it, that was the miracle."
Anais Nin


A wee bit of RED for Thematic Photographic



and a wee bit of doggy romance too. Notice she's in a red car.


Dash is just freshly groomed and ready to rock and roll!




"Life doesn't give us purpose
we give life purpose."
Flash


Especially for Ride your Bike to work day, downtown Minneapolis.



"Learn to pause 
or nothing worthwhile will catch up to you."
Doug King




Here's looking at you Rusty!
(He still has the same bone we lost in the snow a few weeks ago!)


There she goes. I'll probably never ever see that doggy-girl-poodle again,

"Give nonsense a good head-start 
with Tradition and Habit
cheering it from the sidelines,
and if you think 
Reform can catch up with it inside 
of two or three thousand years or more
your opinion is contrary to experience."
unknown




I fully agree with this quote by Tom Wolfe
(I'm sure he's up there somewhere, still learning, still discovering.)

"To me the great joy of writing is discovering.
Most writers are told to write about what they know,
but I still love the adventure of going out and 
reporting on things I don't know about."

Yep. Sounds perfect doesn't it? Learn things. Be adventurous.
Venturesome. 
Venture-a-lot!




Stop. Sit. Listen. See. Be.
"It's life that matters, nothing but life
the process of discovering,
the everlasting and perpetual process,
not the discovery itself, at all."
Fyodor Dostoyevsky




and smiles. It's all about those cute little smiles.

"The soul is healed by being with children."
Fyodor Dostoyevsky


We are mighty!

"It's a funny thing about life,
 once you begin to take note of the things
you are grateful for,
you begin to lose sight of the things that you lack."
Germany Kent

Take really good care of you!

So true:

"...once you begin to take note of the things
you are grateful for,
you begin to lose sight of the things that you lack."

Around decade 6, it's a lot easier to pause...to let things catch up

...just seems it passes by in a flash, though.
