CHARACTER-ISTICS.


CHARACTER-ISTICS.



A HAIKU GONE BAD
butterflies are free
plus herpes and H.P.V.
try to get them not!





Character is what you are in the dark: Dwight L. Moody 

 Character is--Who you are, ESPECIALLY when no one is Looking! : Bill Hybels. 
and finally-
 
The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do. ~John Holt

What are Your CHARACTER- istics?




LOVE YOU ALL!

  4. I like that quote about how you behave when no one is looking - that's a good way to be.

  5. To the question, immediately stop, breathe, look in ever direction I can bend myself into then go to work to solve the problem or situation.

  9. Lovely soft shadows round the resting butterfly! And a haiku with a smidgeon of satire makes delightful reading! Just slightly disagree! Butterflies appear to be free, but they are locked into a pre-coded lifecycle and a short one at that!

  10. Gemma-- Very true on the life cycle-but I love that the struggle to come out of the Cocoon is what makes them live! Did you see the SSS2 Leaf pic?


    Thanks as always for your visit!
