Private Time Reflections


 Slight Diet Deviation!
 

Saturday I enjoyed ‘break time’ on our front porch, diet soda and cashews. Ok, so you’re asking, “What’s wrong with that picture?” I’ll admit, those two food choices might not be on the same chart of a healthy diet, but they sure melded nicely into my hunger cavity. After break, I put the “stay fresh” plastic lid back onto the cashew container and left it on the card table on the porch. In the evening I went to retrieve my leftover cashews and found the container lying on the floor beside the card table. When I picked it up I noticed tiny needle sized holes through the side of the container and many more tiny holes punctured through the “stay fresh” plastic lid. What a mystery! We had no company, no children to blame. I knew it wasn’t like that when I bought the cashews, then it hit me. We did have a visitor, a beautiful ruby throated humming bird took his break sampling nectar from our bright red bleeding hearts blossoms. I’d just about be willing to bet you a quarter and ½ that one clever little hummer figured out that if he added a pinch of salt, it might enhance his craving for nectar. To my knowledge, that would be a Slight Diet Deviation for a hummer!
Too bad this one’s a new one for the birds. If this would have been a ‘people’ discovery, there’d surely be a best seller written, carefully explaining the benefit’s of salting your nectar.

 When Is Nearly Enough?
 

If sometimes isn’t nearly enough and most times is nearly too much, when is nearly enough?
What I just said is not important, but what you think I said, certainly is!
So, what do you think I said?

 An Image Caged?
 

A photo reflects the image of what we see, not necessarily what we saw!
If I snap a picture of yesterday, then look at that photo again today and compare what I see today with what I saw yesterday. Then I’m convinced that even a photo can’t still an image.
For added interest, each of us looks at the same image differently. We frame images from our own perspective, using truths out of our own box.
This is one of the blessings I get from blogging. Often I don’t develop my word picture very clearly, yet I’m glued to the edge of my chair, anticipating your responses. It seems that my fellow bloggers have mastered the art of dusting out the corners of a roundhouse to uncover a meaning for my fuzzy blog images. Then you share your exciting insight with me in your comments! Isn’t this fun? It makes me look gooder than I really am! Please keep it up!

 A Happy Flower?
 

Could I be a happy flower?
Every bloomin flower is given the gift of at least one pedal.
But, many, many have a whole lot more.
So?
Does the ‘glow of the show’ of many pedals elevate those flowers over lesser pedaled flowers?
If I signed up for rigorous, wind blown exercises, would that help my pedal population?
How much pedalin would I have to do before my shape became popular?
Is shape really an important concern?
Oh that reminds me, what thorny relationship is Rose into now?
Was that Bachelor Buttons, or was it Tulips, embracing her nectar in a blossoming romance?
Yes, and what about fragrance?
Is fragrance proportioned to each flower, according to pedal count?
Or according to basic skin color,
Or is the dosage of fragrance influenced by the most handsomely blended, blossoming character?
Or does each flower have the same measured half-thimble of fragrance to work with, no matter how much we pedal?
Oh thunderhead, my shower’s here now.
I dunno,
Could I be a happy flower?

 What‘s The Potential?
 

Ever get into a conversation requiring a decision and the other person’s think time is extended to at least twice what we needed? How we’ve been tempted to just jump in and end the conversation with our ready answer, and why shouldn‘t we?
Well, here’s my problem with me being the first one to get the finish line off my chest.
The other day, in my private time, I disciplined myself to try to identify fourth dimensional views of three dimensional images and this is one that popped up.
“Never cross a thinker’s path with a finish line!”
But doesn’t that view seem to be holding a secret? It doesn’t address -
“What is a thinker’s potential in an open field?”
I don’t really have an answer for that, but if I allow the thinker to run all the way to the end with his/her answer, we should be able to candle out the best solution with twice the candle power!
