Words for Breakfast


Yesterday, it rained. And rained and rained. I seem to recall that last week I wrote the words, "When life gives you rain, take photos anyway!" in more than one place. Well, here was my chance to live up to my words or to eat my words. I decided to live up to them, as words for breakfast don't sound too nutritious. My shoes were soaked and people might have thought I was crazy, but I had a big grin on my face and I managed to get this image for the "Fall Color" prompt in Picture Fall.

I realized with yesterday's rainy situation that this blog keeps me honest with myself, if nothing else. I mean, if I'm going to write about it here, it would be false to not follow my own advice. I think you would eventually see the truth of the matter, feel the hypocrisy come through, and abandon me to my own devices. I would be writing in my own little dream world.

Since I would rather be connecting with the real world, with real people, I'm going to have to assess myself honestly. Flaws and all. Thankfully, so far, I haven't had to eat any of my words for breakfast.

  5. Well, it's been raining all day where I live too. And I didn't take photos but I would have done if it had stopped for five minutes, honest :-)
