It appears I attended an exceptionally long gala!  Not only did it take 3 years before I returned to my newly started blog, but in the meantime my twin boys successfully completed Senior Primary School and entered their first year of High School. My how time flies.

My facebook buddies have finally worn me down and convinced me that my daily thoughts and random ramblings (usually involving electrical appliances) are considered by popular vote it appears, to be entertaining enough to hold water as a blog.....so here goes - it may or may not blow your hat off!

It's comforting to know that I'm not the only person who has completely random thoughts that makes a seemingly sane person wonder where on earth they came from. 

 

While checking out the box of moving pictures last night, my husband paused on a frame depicting these beautiful magestic mountains covered in greenery with the sea crashing into their base on the rocks below. He annonced that it had just occured to him, that it must have initially taken an incredible amount of natural violence upon the earth's surface to create such a picturesque scene. 

 

After first thinking that my man had finally shot his bolt, I considered his seemingly bizarre thought and found a lesson that I feel nature affords us all, if we take a quiet moment to ponder further. We all find some innate beauty in the world around us, yet few of us stop to really think on how much struggle it may have indeed involved to achieve it in the first place. In essence, something achieved with little to no effort, may infact not turn out to be anything too spectacular at all in the end me thinks :)
