Let it Flow

Laughter Ahead

Sometimes funny stuff is right under my nose and it's great therapy for my often too-serious soul.  Recently, while at a delightful boutique in a popular Iowa vacation destination, I came across a display that contained numerous plastic table tents (available for purchase, of course) with various statements that almost instantly had me laughing.  

First, who doesn't want to have it out with our dear friend AUTOCORRECT?  Much too often my text messages, due to Autocorrect's unsolicited help, make me look like a knucklehead...Ugh. 

Next is the whole topic of why one would ever decide to be a teacher -- definitely not for the salary nor notoriety.  Since I'm a high-school teacher, about to begin year 22 in the classroom, it should make perfect sense as to why I am STILL laughing.

Spellbound

"If you are not too long, 

I will wait here for you all my life."

This is my photo of the sculpture, Bourgeois Bust -- Jeff and Ilona, by Jeff Koons, that is currently housed in an exhibit in the Art Institute of Chicago.  

Spread Sunshine

"The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers,but for the wide world's joy."

                                                         --Henry Ward Beecher

Wearing Art

Art is everywhere but sometimes easily overlooked.  These two images show a couple examples of how we artfully adorn our bodies, including with ink and tatoos as well as with how we dress.  Clothing, accessories and hair styles reveal a lot about one's interests, background, personal experiences and personalities.  Next take a look at yourself and think about why you like what you like regarding how you dress and so on.  What does it reveal about you? 

The Eyes of a Child

"There are no seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child.  

There are seven million."
