"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the
best calorie burner.
I believe in kissing, kissing a lot.
I believe in being strong when everything

seems to be going wrong.
I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.
I believe that tomorrow is another day

and I believe in miracles." — Audrey Hepburn

TUT - Week 30 - Bubbles

Hello Everybody .....
Well I am doing my post before Mariette AGAIN....Just need to start e-mailing her my picture by end of Wednesday and not early Thursday...sorry Mariette....
It was Mariette's choice of theme this week - BUBBLES..... And once again, she took an amazing picture - She says that the reason she chose this picture this week is because it captures Maxine beautifully...



Well Done Mariette - I love the concept and the picture and the colour and clarity....






I also took  a picture of a bubble bath - I woke up with a sore back on Friday morning and later in the day, Mike ran a special bubble bath for me ...... It was wonderful - AND my back felt a lot better on Saturday morning....


I must admit - all these holidays ***have made me feel very relaxed and peaceful...Good stuff
 ***In South Africa we had all the Easter holidays - like the rest of the world...then yesterday was another Public Holiday - Freedom Day....the day 17 years ago that SA held it's first ever democratic election...then on Monday we have another public holiday.

A couple of weeks ago I posted that my sister in law (Pam) in America had Teamed up with her sister (Heidi) in New Zealand to do TUT ---- Here is the link to their blogs....Visit them - it is well worthwhile...(I hope that the links work)...

Since Mariette and I started to TUT, I have tried to make my posts fun and always to have a meaning or story behind the fun - This week, I really do not have anything - My mind is blank, empty,  - Does this mean that I have had a meaningless, not so fun week - NO, I don't think so...I think my mind is just very, very relaxed and chilled... A good place to be - Don't you think...So I am going to go with the flow and let my mind rest for as long as it wants....Dear Readers, I do hope that some of the other blogs you follow have some fun or/and meaningful stories this week....AND, if my blog is the only one you follow (why thank you)  - BUT, you need to get out there and start following some others...There are so many bloggers out there, with funny stories/tragic stories/meaningful stories/stories of fashion and beauty and beautiful beliefs/stories with stunning insight and all sorts of stuff-  and the list goes on and on - Try it - I assure you, you will not regret it.......Just be warned though...you can go from my blog to Pam's blog to Mariettes blog to Claire's blog to Lynette's blog (and you can follow links from all of their blogs to Andrea's blog and Heidi's blog etc) then back to mine and then you can follow some of the peoople who have commented here and find other spots AND before you know it...The afternoon is gone and you are feeling comfortable and enriched and soul restored and craft and hobby and fashion pacified...And dinner is not cooked and the bath is not run and homework is not done...Am I speaking from personal experience - Heck - yes of course - But I have had fun and I hope you do as well....Which brings me to another question - Is my life lacking something because I find so much enjoyment from reading about other people's life stories - Of Course not...My life is great...But it adds another dimension to my being to know that there are other people out there in different situations with different points of view and interests....So until next week - Lots of love 'n' BUBBLES...
P.S. - because I am just so relaxed - I have no idea for a them for next week - Please help...

  1. Ah, rabbit holes. Been running in amd through them since 2000 and never tire. I love it ... love it love it love it. I'm a net addict and have been for the longest time. It was my world, my connection, my entertainment, my friends live/d there when I was isolated in a foreign land - all that to say, I am sure your life is filled, but it's also such a great escape. So many interesting people out there ...!

    Hope your day was awesome, thanks for the comment on my blog.
