Now, perhaps this is because of my conviction that everyone is special, less ordinary even, but I genuinely think that brilliance is a quality that we all can claim. Just as in this photo of the raindrops on the washing line, glistening in a stray sunbeam, we all come in different shapes and sizes, we all reflect the light differently, we’re all capable of brilliance.
How will you celebrate your brilliance this Sunday? Will you blow some bubbles? Go beachcombing? Wander round the museum? Commandeer the playpark? What ever you do, be brilliant!
so wonderful – the photo, the words, all of it. i just love the idea of celebrating myself. its hard to do in the middle of life with all its stuff, but i will try to do it, just a tiny bit, today. thank you.
I love the way you draw big messages from tiny points of detail. Thanks for the reminder to shine
Joanna
Amy,
I love the photo, and your comment. Have a shining day too.
I’ll try to be brillant with creating my first homepage with Joomla
and plucking some weeds in the garden this afternoon. Hope that counts 
have a great day my friend!
Amy, I completely agree with you! I also notice how a single raindrop becomes a greater force when joined with other single raindrops. All unique, all reflecting the light differently but when joined together with all of their difference creating anything from a sprinkling, to a light shower to a mighty thunderstorm. How beautiful that humans possess this same power.
i’ll be working on a bit of art for a staff exhibition at the library… wish me luck!
I relaxed in my husband’s arms and watched a NASCAR race this afternoon. I spent a hard day training to be a Boy Scout leader yesterday.
And then I arrived back in town to a delightful surprise, a package from you my sweet friend and I loved it….but one thing could have made it better a letter silly.
We’re going to work on your pen pal skills once I get moved.
Love and hugs.
Also congrats on being runner up in the scared Silly contest, I hope she does another.
It is hard to do, Joker, but even just taking a few minutes out of your day to stop and remind yourself makes all the difference
Thank you for that lovely compliment, Joanna. As for the reminder – your light shines so brilliantly across the web, that I’m glad if this post made you stop and see what others see and appreciate in you.
Thank you Nadine! I had another busy day, but I took an hour out this evening to cuddle up with my kids, and I got to see my shine reflected back at me.
Good luck with the website, Xarah, and as for whether weeding counts – Yes, absolutely! Sometimes our brightest moments come when we’re engaged in the small everyday activities.
Oh a walk on the beach, Daz, just sounds divine. What I wouldn’t give to feel the sand between my toes… I hope you had a lovely day
What a beautiful comment, Karen! Thank you for responding so thoughtfully to my photo. I completely agree with you about what we can achieve when we work together, whilst taking care to appreciate the brilliance of the individual.
Oh, that sounds fun, Captain Stardust! How did you get on? Any photos?
What a relief, Penelope Anne! I’m so glad it arrived. I had heard from both the other 2 that their’s had arrived already, and I was beginning to worry that yours had gone missing. As for the letter, I do apologise. This phd is just taking over at the moment. Will try and send something once I’ve met this next deadline.
Love the photo. Thanks for making me feel brilliant.
I love the bubbles photo. And yes, to practice brilliancy is a wonderful habit to establish.
You are brilliant, Kelly!
It’s a habit that deserves to be practiced daily, Bo, isn’t it?
Hi, unless I’m mistaken, but in your 8 van gohn paintings, you listed this one as “Starry Night,” that is incorrect. Shouldn’t it be “night with stars?”
