Critters that Show up

"Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It's about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen." 

Brene Brown


Welcome to 

SATURDAY'S CRITTERS

and I'm posting to City Daily Photo



Unconditional love. Always.


"When you love someone, you love the person as they are, and not as you'd like them to be." 

Leo Tolstoy



I spy!


"What we know matters but who we are matters more."

Brene Brown




This so reminds me of the princess and the pea story.




Truth!


Taking the scenic route.




Cows grazing in the grass. Farmington. 






"A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor - such is my idea of happiness."

Leo Tolstoy



"In the best, the friendliest and simplest relations flattery or praise is necessary, just as grease is necessary to keep wheels turning."

Leo Tolstoy




Off the beaten track.

Go when possible.

"Explore the lesser travelled paths of life."






"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science."

Albert Einstein




"True life is lived when tiny changes occur."

Leo Tolstoy

I love your quotes and how you've paired them with your beautiful photos. Beautiful because it reflects who you are Karen. Yes! The princess and the pea

Thank you for the beauty and the wisdom - and for introducing me to Brene Brown. The Princess and the Pea link is very strong - and still has me smiling.
