Our coping mechanisms
are creatures of the situations
that made them neccessary.
In a strange way
they keep us in
the way of thinking
that needed them.
Coping
is comfort
with what needs
to be changed.
If you can't
change the situation
change your
thinking.
Don't cope.
Change, transcend,
out-grow.

There are so many different ways we learn to cope...that kindled fire is mine. Man it is good when those flames reach heaven and the anger is hot. I guess that makes me a mad man? hahahahahaha

My fake plants died
because I did not
pretend
to water them.
Happy friday dear Cloudia!!))Bless you!!))
I can exist, or I can have a life. I choose life - which mostly does not leave room for just 'coping'. I loved the death of the artificial flowers - it should happen more often.
Gorgeous quotes and shots. Wish you a nice week end.

The second Plutarch quote says it all for me.
ah great plutarch quote...and so true of us, what we cultivate inside will def spill over...
hope you have a great friday & aloha from va
I hope I have more fire in my mind !
Stunning pictures as usual, and pretty choice of words to illustrate them.
Lovely pictures and matching quotes.
My question: where are the fishes?
(somehow I miss them)...
Have a very nice day!!!
It used to be much easier to kindle my mind!
I love the second quote!
It isn't always easy to change your thinking! sometimes It is easier to let thoughts go entirely- maybe if you are lucky someone along the way may give us a new perspective! Be well and happy-
Beautiful images all, you're right..just 'coping' isn't good enough. Have a fab weekend Cloudia.
Some of these need writing large and putting on the wall to refer to Cloudia.
Again beautiful photo's with lovely colors Cloudia..... good quotes too.
Greetings from Holland, Joop
the fake plants quote gave me a laugh. thanks for that, cloudia.
And yet changing the way you look at someone so that you can smile where before you frowned can make a world of difference.
I endorse everything said above. Lovely, Cloudia.
Change is good in my books and the fake plants quote made me smile.
I loved all the quotes, especially the one about the fake plants. Wonderful photos and words, have a great weekend my friend.
Oh my goodness- I must hurry and safe some fake-flower lives! :) Warmest of greetings to you- and here's to moving forward! - Karen (Now, off to find my watering can!)
amazing dear Cloudia!!!! May peace flow and flow and flow...I believe it is possible, I do. I do hope you will help me in creating the gratitude quilt this year…there is more info at the top of my blog.

Interesting that this idea expressed so long ago is now called new thought or new age.
Gosh... Cloudia, you are sounding rather Buddhist today. I love it! That first photo is absolutely awesome.
Beautiful colouring and the poem, special.
Plutarch and Hedberg...nuff said CC. :)
