I had to share this picture of a tree in our hometown, here, who was being rather provocative! Or maybe she was being modest? I don’t know, but this sight of this made me think this could be a great Tidbit Tuesday shot!

For all you Swimwear catalogue fans, there’s a new model in town!

But it’s not just my tree here who is a little bit saucy, check out the video below for some other rather kinky trees, plants, fruits and vegetables!

One from my Pops!
A different take on something I reiterate often on this blog, we can start afresh, we just need to remember that…

My Symbol Of Letting Go

The wonderful blogger, and someone I am so happy to call a sister, Erika, wrote a post the other day, all about things that were holding us back in life, and then she found a song that was her symbol of letting go of the situation that held her back.

She invited others to do the same, find something to show as a symbol, and letting go of something we also need to, to make life easier.

Here’s mine.

I really need to let go of one thing in my life, and that is my constant need to please everyone else. Sometimes I run myself ragged, trying to be there for everyone, volunteering to help, or even putting my own little family second, to please someone else.

Well today I am letting go of that feeling. I will always be the person I am, but I am actually going to put me, and my little family first. If someone’s nose gets out of joint, I actually don’t care! I have to do what is best for us, for me, and hey, I’ll fit the others in around us, but no longer will I move us around to make others happy… (unless I want to!)

This is actually going to be really hard for me, as I have always been the one to be there, and I really don’t want to stop totally, but I do feel that I am taken for granted by so many, that maybe this step back will make others realise too….

Thanks Erika, for giving me the inspiration to actually think of letting go… I hope I manage to do it!
