Colliding thoughts
Allow the dreams to come
Only to drift away before I can see
Monday. Monday. It starts with a slow little bang, as #monochromemonday thoughts run through my head. Keeping it together, while looking ahead. There are days where I'd rather be bedded, next to my book, with dog-eared pages, a bit tore but no matter. Retrieved from a bin. Free. It doesn't get any better than that. Almost instant gratification for me. Give me tomorrow and we'll look at it again.
Do you look up when you take a walk
Leaving the sidewalk for a peek at the trees
Craning your head, chin in the air
Do you look up when you begin to talk
Remembering to ponder what you will see
As you take this walk, this walk with me
Do you look up when you take a walk?
Your mind is a garden,
Your thoughts are the seeds,
You can grow flowers or
You can grow weeds
William Wordsworth
Oh, yes… it started as a mind game between us, but it was quite disconcerting to see how many of those tiny seeds were negative thoughts fated to grow into something that would bite me back… Have you ever noticed that they seem to grow faster and if you let them, they suck the life out of your positivity? How does your garden grow?
So, this is very eclectic, it's true, brought by me to you. Let's just say a random monochrome...This shot was from the last Indian PowWow that I attended in rural Delaware. There are five Indian Nations in which all the tribes fall — the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek (Muscogee), and Seminole. The Indian Nations have a wide variety of art forms, lifestyles, regalia ( and beliefs. This is what I call Indian Pride. I love this guy and he loved his tribe.
And just because it's Monday, it's true, I have to wonder where the whole weekend went. I leave you in music, the best farewell, I want to hear you sing, open your mouth, and let it go... Just a short goodbye today, along with my Monday song. Just like that, this post is over. Come back tomorrow and we'll do it again!
All I have are my words, armed in my mind, written in pen, stand by stand. Oh, yes. Still by hand. It has a different feel. Altered not by keys, backspace, and delete, I write, erase, tear it to pieces and start all over again. And again.
It’s my way. I walk out to the deep end of the page and dive right in.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost

It's Monday, and time to get back to normal!
And what a delight to read this article.
It brings me brand new hope, of new beginnings and a continuation of the old.
Thanks @dswingle.
Your mind is a garden,
Your thoughts are the seeds,
You can grow flowers or
You can grow weeds
William Wordsworth
Many people (would) like to grow weeds. Haha. 😂
!LOLZ.
But seriously. This quote is so true and so powerful. Our thoughts are much more powerful than many people would think.
How does your garden grow?
My garden is growing with positive and with happy thoughts, full of flowers, and I have every reason for this. My life recently took a very good turn. And if you mean my literal garden (the garden of my current rent), then that is also have some flowers.
I will take a few photos in the afternoon, when I arrive home. I am currently on my workplace. The work will start 15 minutes later (at 08:00 CEST).
Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.
Sounds promising! I truly believe that a positive attitude helps many things in life, or at the very least makes you feel better. While nobody likes a bad turn in life, more is solved with a great attitude than with a dismal one.

How have I been missing you, my lovely? I need to check you out! ❤️ Thank you and I hope you are having a great day! I also saw you are part of Silverbloggers! Me too! :)
Hehehe. Truth. But, just look!! The coming weekend is bringing Easter with it! Church, tie-dyed eggs, and chocolate bunnies- along with a few pancakes. How can we not get excited, just thinking about it?
Hello @dswigle, I have just finished reading three of your posts and wanted to comment on how lovely your words are. I'm very pleased to have come across your blog.

Normal? Is there really such a thing? 😁
Makes me wonder some days with the crazy weather, crazy world... It does bring a renewal of sorts though. I have to admit.
Hope all is well with you! Happy New Week!
I survived the day!
Have a happy week, lovely @dswigle!
Most Excellent!! Happiness is the golden rule.
You have a great week too!

I look forward to the pictures. Have a great day!
I uploaded them: The beauty of spring - Blue, yellow flowers and blooming trees in the garden of my current rent (2022.04.11).
Thank you. You (and everyone else) too.
Thanks. Found them. :)

You highlighted the same thing I did - the Wordsworth verses. #love it
Most people including myself hate Monday. It comes so quickly and cut the weekend. Happy new week anyway dear.
Haha! Yes! But, it makes the weekend coming up just a little bit sweeter, yes?
As always Denise your words and photography are inspiring. Have a great week ahead.

Monday.... bleh.... it's the beginning of phone hell week.
Pardon me if I can't get very excited about it. LOL !!
I did however, enjoy your post.
Hehehe. Truth. But, just look!! The coming weekend is bringing Easter with it! Church, tie-dyed eggs, and chocolate bunnies- along with a few pancakes. How can we not get excited, just thinking about it?
There is no time to think on phone hell week. It seems it should be illegal to come the week before Easter and ruin all the Eastery goodness.
Yes. I truly get it. I think we should write to the Easter Bunny and put it off a week.
