Next Chapter In Life
Taking time getting to decide what next, life is stranger than before, ticking clock knocking at the door, decisions must be made that is for sure!
Floating around my mind real life, currently engaged in repairs, fixing up the home, loving care poured into make this house home, fortress of bushes a garden for wildlife will be gone, once you turn your back to walk away.
Some find it odd not passing the home down, youth go to where employment is available, life carries on. Brick and mortar is a house, where any family resides a home.
Cooler months invite one to grab paint brushes, stroke the walls, prop up some damp spots by sanding down, applying new technology to conceal stress blemishes. Plenty rising damp in humid climate.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
Sun is the same, in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
Speckled, blotched, scarred, time takes it's toll on all, cadence flow a constant rhythm beating out precious moments, realization hits home hours are ticking quite quickly, time to asses, make decisions whether to go or stay.
Big dance floor through life, nothing is permanently set in stone, dancing is like dreaming with your feet, none do it right, none do it wrong, never allow anyone dull your sparkle.
Work hard, never feel need of money, today takes care of itself, tomorrow will too. Stepping stones, another chapter, look forward in anticipation of a bright future, walk away?
Happy full moon tonight, thanks for visiting, keeping busy with fixing and cleaning glad the cooler days are promised to become colder with snow on our mountains mid-week next week. Wait and see what the weather brings, rain or shine have a lovely day!

I saw the full moon last night as I drove in from work, though a bit cloudy the moon was full not to be missed.
"Never let anyone dull your sparkle", I like that line.
Enjoy the weather

Clear skies last couple of nights have been delightful sunsets as well, snow promised on the mountains middle of next week should pick up a little chill yeah!
Never let anyone dictate how you live, it's your life !LOLZ
Hello @joanstewart
This is @coquicoin and I'm part of the Silver Bloggers’ Community Team.
Thank you for sharing your excellent post in the Silver Bloggers community! As a special "token" of appreciation for this contribution to our community, it has been upvoted and curated.
I see this beauty around life, the pink flowers, the butterfly and you just know that something lovely does emerge from the wasteland.
Growing indigenous, not using chemicals in the garden attracts a lot back into the garden.
Great shots of the gorgeous animals there Joan!
especially the little Monkey. It's not a capuccin is it?
Love the lizard and the birdy bird too, even the Moth, all so very important to all of us, especially Mother Earth.
Vervet Monkey troop goes through our garden regularly sometimes twice a day, each little thing has beauty to enjoy.
Thanks for visiting and have a great day!
Oh wow, that is sooo awesome to have your own little gorgeous monkey!
They are cute and get up to mischief!
OMG, I would just want to sit there all day and watch them- with a video camera and a still camera too...
All the phonographs in your post are very beautiful. I really liked the first paragraph of your post, in which you mentioned the way of life as well as another great thing that I liked very much. No one knows what the coming time will bring with it or what it will take away. So it is urgent to make full use of the time and move forward. You don't even know when your time will be over. @joanstewart
Visitors around the home always get me thinking about what will happen to them, people are too quick chopping everything down.
Staying positive in being, realizing we cannot change anything, time is not ours but a gift.
As usual lovely photography. The brown butterfly looks too good a shot, from close up.
White one outdoors I think is the Riband Wave quite small, second is the Emperor moth rather large and second to visit in the last couple of weeks.
Thanks for its nane. I did not know. 🙏
Really my friend, time is really ticking, that's why we have to work with the much time left. Enjoy ourselves the much we can. That Sunset is beautiful, I love watching sunsets most evenings, it gives me a sense of peace, serenity.
Always love watching sunsets, great ones at this time of year.
Hello dear friend @joanstewart good morning
I loved your post, you invite us to reflect on the life we lead.
It is very true what you say. "dancing is like dreaming with your feet, no one does it well, no one does it wrong, never allow anyone to dull your shine" everyone is as they are, and we must be happy with that
I love your wildlife photos, you are blessed to live in a place full of them.
Have a beautiful day
All taken around the home over the last couple of days, my son says I'm like a tourist in my garden always aiming my camera at something. Roses and Natal Robin early this morning on first walk !LOLZ
Happy day ahead greetings for you too, end of day sun going down in Durban earlier now !LUV
I really enjoyed reading this post, Joan. The way you talked about the importance of walking away from negative situations resonated deeply with me.
It's a reminder that sometimes the best decision for our well-being is to let go and prioritize our mental health.
Thanks dearest 🥰
Big decisions to consider, have been pondering a couple of years.
When in a quandary one starts to feel a little negative which is something I have to resolve.
Life is short we all deserve the best, thanks for your lovely comment.
!LUV 🤗
Indeed and you're most welcome
There is always another chapter beckoning. We just have to hope they're are make other chapters behind it!
River keeps flowing, no straight lines, smack'd o'blurry my word it hits you, time for next chapter, plenty chapters dusted off....
I'm going to seriously think about photographing the moon, it looks very pretty in your photo. And what to say about the butterflies. Interesting your proposal. Greetings.🤗
Capturing the moon have fun, something we do mentally as well. All life is welcome, sharing common space for short period of time. Have a lovely day !LUV
Creating a home is a journey. It doesn't happen in a day. Thank you for this beautiful reflective post and your gorgeous photography.
!LUV
Now to downsize and let go, plenty memories to distribute before the bell tolls.
!LOLZ
Life is a succession of chapters, some more difficult than others, right? but the point is always to tackle each chapter in the best possible way. Beautiful pictures!
Some chapters we move eagerly, others more a drudge, nonetheless has to be done sooner or later. Thanks for visiting, have a beautiful day.
Thanks @hive-106316
