Some Looking Up

A   L   O   H   A !
 " Don't dwell on

 who let you down,

 cherish those 

who hold you up." 
                               Anon.










" I don't have to 

look up my family tree,

because I know 

that I'm the sap. " 
                          Fred Allen 









" Great talents are the most lovely
and often the most dangerous
fruits on the tree of humanity.
They hang upon the most
 slender twigs
that are easily snapped off. "

 Carl Jung












"“To live 
is the rarest thing 
in the world. 
Most people exist, 
that is all” 
 Oscar Wilde

Thanks for Living some of it Here!

 Life is short; live it up. "

oh sadly too true on the most creatives being on a fragile branch so easily snapped off...i wonder what makes creatives dance so close to insanity...

You miss so much if you don't look up! I love M. Wilde he is like today's Stephen Fry!

Charles Gramlich said...

Oscar Wilde was quite a quote worthy fellow.

The older I get, the more I know that now is the time to live it up.

The palm is a date palm I believe. Blossoming tree? Don't know, sorry.


Thanks Friends ♥

I can't believe that "We will bury you" Kruschev also said that we need to live it up! I loved the quotes today. The pics were great, too.

I have been on a little break and what a gem of quotes and photos to come back to from you...they are wonderful. What is that building in your top shot? I haven't seen it before.

That second image is stunning. I choose life over an existence any day. Harder work, sometimes sad, sometimes frightening but worth it. Sooo worth it.
