Editing Thoughts




We each have the unique opportunity to include or exclude thoughts.
Filter them wisely for they determine the future of your life.

 Like editing photos, we need to delete the ones which aren't a true representation, keeping and refining only the best and most helpful.

Photographic note: Tiny moss taken late this afternoon.

    This looks like Tortula muralis, a moss you can find here too. In the morning with a bit of dew they are even more beautiful. The Raynox works perfectly!
    And your words are very true.

    What a fantastic photo Karen.

    Your words are oh so true and very inspiring. I, at this time, need to keep positive, giving the negatives over to God to deal with.

    Have a lovely week ~ FlowerLady

    Filtering (or reframing) thoughts is a huge step towards a more contented life I think
    Great advice

    Filtering thoughts cause me to accept the good and toss the bad, never allowing the enemy to fill my heart with his evil. I want to be sensitive to hear the Holy Spirit's checks when unwholesome thoughts are planted. An amazing picture.

    You have expressed the truth beautifully Pamela. Our pastor has been preaching a series on renewing the mind, lots of interesting information. It's been a great series.

    Fantastic picture, Karen. Your words are so true. A few lines of a poem are my daily motto. I think you already know them.
    "Count your garden by the flowers
    Never by the leaves that fall
    Count your days by golden hours...
    Don't remember clouds at all"

    Thanks for visiting my blog. Yes I still work with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ48 and the Raynox DCR-250. I have tried a Nikon D5200, but couldn't find the advantages compared with the Lumix. The pictures didn't improve. I don't know if I will switch. Greetings, Joke

    Your words are true, that's my way of life, and even always try to see things with the positive way.
    Love your picture Karen, I wonder if I could do an embroidery with this lovely piece of nature.
