Thank you to all my followers, old and new, for making my blogging experience so amazing!
If it wasn’t for you all, my blogily, I wouldn’t still be here.
I love my daily interactions, the friendships we have all made… the crazy challenges and prompts, the encouragement.

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” – Confucius
Isn’t this totally true?
I think in all aspects of life, things were simpler, then along came religion, money, power, technology, Reality TV…. You know what I mean.
See those families in tiny rural villages, away from all the mod cons of life. How happy are they?
The poorest people are often the happiest. Just look at the wide smiles on the faces of street urchins in a Bombay Slum. Then compare their expressions with those of a child from a well to do family.
Wars, terrorism, poser struggles.
All very real problems.
But only problems because we have allowed them to become problems.
Step back today. Simplify one thing. Strip back life.
See if it makes you feel better!
Have a wonderfully simplistic Sunday Peeps!

Some of you know my Pops is a Yoga teacher. He went into it after retiring. Since then, he has helped lots of people with his classes. And today I found out he is even on YouTube! A friend of his asked for a video regarding knee problems and pressure points, and massages to help. Since then, well it’s not quite viral. But over 400 views! Bless him!So, meet my Precious Pops!
(Not quite sure why it’s been classified comedy. .. but hey! )

I must admit that this week, the prompt threw me! I’m not saying I take a perfect shot all the time, bit most of the photos that would fit the prompt had my kids in them. ..and I operate on a no kids photo policy!
The prompt…
1. Choose a photo that you’ve taken that shows something or someone in the wrong position.
2. Create a new post on your blog entitled “Hugh’s Photo Challenge: Week 14 – Wrong Position.”
3. Add the photo(s) you have taken to the post and tell us a little about what you are showing.
4. Create a pingback to this post or leave a link to your post in the comments section below so that other participants can view your post.
So I went back… way back… nearly 40 years back and found this doozy! Yup…that’s me!
A lovely pic! I hear you tease
But what’s that swaying in the breeze?
Not leaves or branches, birds or trees
Only a pair of my dad’s undies!
