Sunshine and Freedom


Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.

Beautiful image. Not sure about the quote, though. To thrive and be joyous I'm sure this is true. Sometimes "just living" is enough to aim for to get you through the day.
I think it's a bit naive to expect everything to be all "love light and bliss" all the time.

Very true Alison, very true but I am a 'suck the marrow outa life' kinda girl and for the days that are cruisy (and there are some) I do want to do more than 'just get by'.

And on the days where things are hard, or pear-shaped or just not sliding along smoothly, then 'just living' will do me very nicely indeed :-)

Let me get back to you on that Abz - although I am not supposing to say it is wrong. Just going through some philosophical angst on the whole thing so not sure if it applies to me. Mind you it does remind me of a quote I had on my wall as a teenager "Happiness is something to hope for, something to do and someone to love" (or words to that effect).
