Neglect

Time is speeding up! I'm convinced of it. As each day draws to a close, often I am left wondering if I did anything constructive today. I don't mean tasks only -although that is how we often measure our worth - by our productiveness. But what if it was more important to look at the differences we made for someone else each day? . Did I love someone today?  Did I make a positive difference in someone else's life? Is it that difficult? Often being friendly and asking people how they really are and sticking around for the answer can make all the difference. On those days when I am needing TLC from another and don't feel able to give out anything positive, choosing to bless someone anyway often makes me feel better too. Food for thought? 

This shot was taken at the destination of a days worth of riding on the back of a motorcycle. What an amazing experience, watching the

stunning countryside fly past. It was country that I hadn't laid eyes on before which is always a treat. The next day, in the middle of a ghost town, the fog was thick and proved to be the perfect backdrop for shots like this. Who knows what happened to this magpie, usually they are way to crafty to get hit by vehicles but they have been known to dive bomb motorcyclists so maybe that was this ones fate. One dive bomb to many! These birds are a pest in New Zealand and are regularly shot, so I'm sure not many would feel pity for him. I only hope that when I do one dive bomb to many,  I will leave a better legacy than he did.
