“ What better way to tell time than through the body of content.”
This quote was based on a suggestion made by Michelangelo, from the book: The Agony and Ecstasy (author Irving Stone).
A good thought to keep in mind. Especially when frustrated by the rapid passage of time.
Can you relate?
We will not be remembered by what we didn’t accomplish in this lifetime, but rather by what we did. I think having a blog is a very good start or addition to anyone’s personal, creative record of accomplishments.

I hope you also enjoy another one of my recent Autumn photos. The colors have remained so vivid this year. This pic was taken just a couple of weeks ago. We had snow yesterday but it’s already melted away.

A good choice for your quote. I would rather be known for what I do, than what I have.
Did you take that shot. Statice is one of my favorte everlastings.

You are really inspiring at the moment, G. The quote is very relevant to many of us, I suspect. It is more important to focus on what we have accomplished than on what we haven’t. It’s an important point to remember. Beautiful photo!

I love the pic, and read The Agony and Ecstasy three times, starting when I was fifteen. Stone’s best work.

Beautiful picture! I so agree about the passage of time! It seems to go quicker and quicker and I am slower and slower-lol. I love having the visual journaling of my blog to document this time. Have a wonderful weekend Geraldine!
