With the birth of my Great-grandaughter,
Mazie Monroe Collicott, last Thursday,
I am rededicating my life and work to be
something of value for her to learn from and hopefully
remember me by...

to quote St. Francis:
Lord make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred let me so love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light; and
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
St. Francis of Assisi

When I started on Flickr all I had were disposable cameras - I tried to capture my love of gardening and the beauty in my life with that -

A Flickr friend reminded me yesterday
that while I am Christian, .
I also Try to live by this quote:

My Religion is simple.
My religion is kindness

The Dalai Lama

I expect to pass through life but once.
If, therefore, there be any kindness I can show,
Or any good thing I can do to any fellow being,
Let me do it now, as I shall not pass this way again.

I firmly believe that if more people in the world lived by
this simple philosophy, we would not be in the horrible
messes we are in all over the world!!!
