Natural Monday: Soul Silence

Framed Sunset by rubys polaroid

Silence doesn’t have a sound, it’s the absence of sound. Sounds define our world, the wind rushing through car horns blaring on the street. The ever present background hum of voices, sound is everywhere but sometimes your ears go silent not because the world is silent but your soul is crying so loud for what it has lost every other sound gets drowned out.

Took this shot 2 days before the New Year, the sun was setting and it felt like the year was saying goodbye. The dusty air and cold haze acted like a blanket for the sun, and this was the only peek i had of the one of the last sunsets of 2017. Lots of wishful thinking went on in 2017 for me but i’ll try to make the most of this year (hopefully) and not spend it dreaming like last year.

Natural Monday: Sun Burst

Hallo peeps, and what a rollacoaster weekend it has been 🙂 ,rolling in the New Year on a Sunday with its attendant activites combined with church was alooooooot of stress 🙂 but i’m always happy for the holidays. The perfect time to relax and catch up to friends we’ve lost contact with all year, count our blessings and reflect on the coming year.
A great way to start an awesome year is in the full glare of the Eternal Sun and that what I did with this close up shot of the Unassuming Mushroom.

Hope we’ve all started on our Resolutions *wink wink*

Happy New Year

2016: Full Circle

It has finally come full circle, another year has passed and it’s time to take stock of my goals from last year as well as what I want to use my 2016 for.

Last year January in my 2015 in High Resolution <= Post Link, I penned down some goals of mine (7 actually) with the thought of a smaller, compact list would make for more achievement.

……..
How did I fare?
To be honest, out of my 7 goals I achieved 4 😀 (those with a black box next to them) . Well my lofty goal of 2000 followers ended up being 784 (cumulative) compared with 215 (as at post). Not quite an astronomical leap but I’m happy for the growth of my blog. I’ve met new friends on my blog as well as through my novel writing stint last November. It was tough on my brains but I was happy to lay to rest the nagging story in my head after 4 years. I’m now plotting a new list for this year hopefully i’ll do more than last year 😀 .
So what are your New Year Goals and how well did you do last year. Would love to read your relies in the comments. Ciao
