We need to be careful of the words we use with each other. And most importantly we need to be careful with the words we use when speaking to ourselves.
Guess how I made the above image. Me and my shadow did it!
Go here to see yesterday’s clouds!
Let me know if this doesn’t open. It is hard to test when the interwebs are not aligning.
Go HERE to Take Ten with a midnight prairie storm. It’s a free TKG Take Ten. Courtesy of a new paid subscriber. Thank you so much! And if you love thunder and lightning – you will love this.
The skies are being especially talkative lately.
Another bout of cold weather is on the way. And Poor FreeBee was just getting settled into the warm too.
The storms have left our internet in a mess so I hope I get this blog post out to you. It is Friday so the last post for this week! It is weird when even my data does not work this morning.
However! I am here. On the farm, when I am not caring for my elder in town once a day so leave me a message! Let’s talk! This is a two way street you know. Which is why I love you so.

It’s the Ides of March today and 14ºC here, with April showers. Your shadows picture reminds me of Eadweard Muybridge, though his multi images were of movement.
I will look him up! Thank you!
You will probably recognise his pictures when you see them.
The short video was lovely. The sky was indeed speaking, telling a story of turmoil, unrest, change…and then simply calm.
Was t it lovely? It always amazes me – the choreography of clouds.
Raining here, with T-storms predicted. A real Ides forecast & I must struggle out. Ugghh… Some mighty clouds & weather up your way. Glad you are not flying right now, even though the stewardess has always reassured me whenever I’ve had to in ominous weather, “We’ll me above it all in a minute, honey.” I’m going to try to be above it all out there today.
Yes! A Moral! Rise above the bad weather!
The clouds are amazing. I love prairie clouds. As a child I used to sit and watch them. xo
Yes! Those are important memories!
Love today’s post! Great shadow photography too! Very contemporary and artsy. We can see how much the animals enjoyed the sun! Hopefully the cold weather does what it needs to do, then gets out of the way for more sunny days and better internet connections.
You brought up such an import topic. The way we speak to ourselves is of utmost importance. We heard somewhere that words have weight. They hold intention. So why not speak only good of ourselves, positively and lovingly. Afterall, the way we speak to ourselves can translates to the world who we are. In turn, the way we speak to others can be a reflection of the way we see the world and what’s going on for us that day, week, month or year. Thank you for bringing up this subject that we all can benefit by. 🌻
We just need to remind ourselves often, or at least I need to remind myself often, to do better. It is so hard to get angry with oneself. Disappointed.
It’s a good reminder for everyone. There was a fantastic article in the local paper talking about communication. It said, “If we talked to a friend they way we talk to ourselves, would that friend be a friend for long?” So it’s normal to get upset sometimes, especially if our internal dialogue isn’t on point. It something we all need to be mindful of, like remembering to eat healthy, get some excercise and sunlight. The the fact you even brought it up is going to help people be more loving with themselves. We’re always learning, all of us. 🌻🦋😊💛
hi CC. That why is wise woman, who just happened to be my mother, told us often to be careful what you say, and to whom. Words can never be unspoken. They live in the ethos for years. And often, those words spoken in anger are not meant, but they can still jurt.
And our subconscious hears what we say, and thinks we mean it. So let’s make a pact to be nice to each other and ourselves. Wave to that neighbour and give her a cheerful hello. It might be just what she has needed all day.
Taking off my life coach hat now to say how much I enjoyed watching the clouds scudding across the sky. We don’t get that kind of weather here but I love to see it in your TKGs. Thanks.
waving to our neighbours! A great way to start the day. Thank you Judith!
Let us not speak ill things into existence for ourselves. Probably why they say “if you can’t say something nice, then say nothing”. On the other hand, I don’t like to be accused of ‘running away’ from an argument, when all I am doing is removing myself before I say something I will regret later. But we all have different ways to deal. I can only control my own actions and words, so I will.
yes – controlling our own good words is a wonderful choice.
Awesome clouds! I am always looking to add cloud interest in my landscape photography. Sometimes I feel like a storm chaser!
I would love to be a storm chaser when I grow up!
lol Celi. Pondering on the ‘when I grow up’ bit (and hoping it never happens; )
We keep plotting what to do next!!
