However this post is not about bonbons or something delicious, but then again I would somehow like to think so, as in this case BON refers to Blogger Of Note and I have been chosen to be as such. Hosted by Sandy and Pam at Words Of Wisdom, a lovely place that aims to bring together people by highlighting a variety of blogs and making it easier to discover new, beautiful places. My thanks with a deep sense of privilege and appreciation goes to both these ladies, who suggest that I indeed fall into that category. Likewise I express the same sentiments to the kind and endlessly talented young woman and my friend Susan for nominating me for BON.
To those of you who stop by for the first time, I bid you the warmest welcome and I hope you will enjoy your stay.
My writing - as is stated by this blogs title and the short description of myself on the sidebar - is focused on conveying my thoughts about the present, my recollections of the past and my hopes for the future ahead. In short, I write about life itself. Being an undying romantic, an optimist and a true fatalist, I view life as a grand adventure that I have been granted the privilege to experience. I marvel over each sunrise or sunset, I find comfort and endless enchantment in almost any natural wonder and in the beauty of simple pleasures.
To pick only three posts in order to highlight what this blog is about is difficult, but I decided for the following:
Unforgettable Moments
Ice Cream Memories
Unconditional Embrace
I also included below a collage of images, which have been featured on this blog over the years. The reason being that photography is my great passion, combined with the need to express my self through pictures, painting and writing.
Thank you again for this nomination, Sandy and Pam and thank you everyone for taking the time to stop by.
xoxo

I'm so happy to have come across your site via "Our Words of Wisdom" or (WOW) site - and you being chosen as the "Blog of Note" for the day.... you certainly deserve it! Your site and your posts are very soothing and insightful. Of the three you posted, I especially enjoyed (and connected the most with) "Unconditional Embrace" - as someone who has been living with depression for many years - I too have learned to look towards ME for guidance - as only I can truly make myself better... I search for sites like yours - sites that inspire and are calming...
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful pictures that you share too!
