Engage Yourself and Critters

Good morning bloggers are we ready for the last few days of July? Can you believe August first arrives Thursday?

 I'm posting to SATURDAY'S CRITTERS

 and City Daily Photo.

Express yourself!

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself

 in the service of others.

Playing to the crowd.

Sing to the crowd too!

Sharing their talents all around town!

Engaging, listening and sharing memories and bits of history with interpreters, veterans and visitors was so very rewarding at the Little Log House Pioneer Village in Hastings, Minnesota.

"It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They Went Out and Happened to Things." 

and "Learning never exhausts the mind."

Leonardo da Vinci

Go out and photo-bomb someone today!

The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships and the secret to living is giving.

Be more limitless in your life.

"Energy, not time, is the fundamental currency of high performance."

Jin Loehr

Show off your best shoes!

The energy you put out is the energy you get back.

and

da Vinci wrote, "It is a very good plan every now and then to go away and have a little relaxation. When you come back to the work your judgement will be surer, since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose the power of judgement."

To attract positive things in your life, start by giving off positive energy.

"To be fully engaged, we must be physically energized, emotionally connected, mentally focused and spiritually aligned with a purpose beyond our immediate self-interest."

"How you make others feel about themselves says a lot about you."

People will forever focus on your stories.

Share more stories.

Positivity is more than just a state of mind, it's a force that can transform interactions, relationships and even our overall well-being and inspire change.

"Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfish contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfilment."

Tony Robbins

Thank you for stopping by and sharing your comments and thoughts.

Take good care of you.

Forever Fun and Critters

What we know about life, it goes on however we desire.

Here's a bit of life through the eyes of critters and art pieces.

I'm posting this for

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Maya Angelou

It is not the length of life but the depth. 

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sweet Artemis taking life at its best.

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. 

Most people exist, that is all."

While others, like Artemis they may romp through a nearby creek and soak up the sunshine to dry off! 

Be more like Artemis

I live to play.... said every well-adjusted pup.

"But you have to hear the end of the story. 

You have to know the wolf doesn't win."

Stephen Chbosky

"As our society gets more complex and our people get more complacent, the role of the jester is more vital than ever before. Please stop sitting around. We need you to make a ruckus."

Seth Godin

I know you're in there.

Be true to you.

 Stop hiding away.

Come out, come out wherever you are let's make a ruckus.

 

Reflection of a beautiful day, life and world around us.

"Stars also symbolize the cycle of life, solitude and gravity. They glow in the dark energy that's the majority of space, and remind us that even in the pitch black,

there's always something that can shine."

L.J. Shen

Shine on!

"What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Be wise. Let your heart lead the way. And when you find someone who's worth it - never let them go."

L.J. Shen

and know that even junk can become someone's art.

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. 

Fantasy is s necessary ingredient in living."

Dr. Seuss

"Give the world the best you have, and you'll get kicked in the teeth. 

Give the world the best you have anyway."

Kent M. Keith

More wisdom from Artemis

Flea Markets our July theme for City Daily Photo

 

If it involves dirt roads, open spaces and fields of trees, tables galore,  good friends, artisans sometimes, antiques, collectibles and things some folks may call junk count us in and we'll come near and far to gather together and snap up some goodies.

Our July theme for City Daily Photo is "Flea Markets" please enjoy some places in and around Minneapolis.

You had me at let's go junkin'!

Doesn't everybody dream of flea markets?

The beauty of handmade things is simply, the imagination one puts into ordinary things and suddenly you have a completely different object.

So many finds and only you will spot that thing you desire most.

Oldies but goodies in your eyes are waiting just for you.

Not just for your house, because let's decorate the yard too!

Gary Harbo author and illustrator of children's books was a wonderful find this afternoon!

Sometimes you have to look twice is it vintage or handmade?

"Riches do not exist in the possession of treasures but in the use made of them."

Napoleon Bonaparte

Like you always hear what's one man's junk can be another's treasure.

Thanks for checking out this month's theme and enjoy a wonderful 4th of July! 

Take good care of you.
