Extraordinary UnOrdinary You
Seasonal Change
New life arrives at the most unusual times, against the clock giving thought to why some arrive/thrive through warmer months while other life arrives going into cooler months.
Reminding us constant change happens, making life so special. When we young summer is more than not our favourite with longest holiday off school, more daylight equals more time out with friends and family.
As age creeps along we embrace all the seasons filled with charm, make memories with families growing up, taking breaks we celebrate togetherness during all four seasons not noticing the weather outside.
Reaching long shadow days in our lives, slowly reflecting years creeping up on us we tend to stop, reflect more often at what really is around us, savour each moment, rather than dread knowing time is ticking for all constantly.
Experience teaches one to really look, enjoy each awakening minute to learn more, it's all about clouds floating above or spiders hatchling in plants, things closer to home more than far flung adventures.
Enjoying right now in every waking moment, seasons come and go quicker than we realize, time to throw open the windows and embrace all we have!
One factor most admit whether over 40, 50, 60 heck you may be in the 70s is we never feel we have grown up, still finding thrills through compliments given or received, gratitude through respecting errors made never to be rectified, trying our best is best we are able to with persistence and patience toward ourselves.
From childhood complaining about taking an afternoon nap, then older making excuses to take that same afternoon nap makes us an extraordinary unordinary You.
How we use time through seasonal change makes ordinary into an extraordinary journey through our days thanks for visiting and being here today!

Thanks for enjoying, always try to write with what surrounds me, I know it makes me a better person.
It's really great to hear ☺️
Beautiful nature, lovely shots, hope you are having a good weekend.
Quiet weekend with too many visiting coastal towns, thanks for visiting and asking!
What beautiful photographs you show us on this occasion.
You are very right when you say that with the passage of time, and at a certain age, one learns to appreciate all the seasons of the year and to enjoy every minute of existence.
Thank you very much dear friend @joanstewart for sharing these beautiful photographs. I take this opportunity to wish you a happy Easter.
Happy April, another month we can feel the season start to change, life offers such variety throughout the year, thanks for visiting.
Happy Autumn to you, Joan. The seasons really reflect so many aspects of our lives. I have come to appreciate all the seasons as I grow older. Each one teaches so much about ourselves in so many ways.
Days are shorter, cooler breeze now apparent in early mornings and late afternoon, a lovely season to enjoy again. Never stop learning it's uplifting, enjoy April.
i know exactly what you mean about an afternoon snooze!!! I enjoy mine every day lol
Don't know about ever sleeping in the day, many do!
it is the best!!
100% correct!
Happy Easter Joan and you are right, embrace all the seasons!
Often hear forty year olds saying they have not found direction, still feel twenty then shocked reality, I think many of us feel this way! Happy April!

What is in the garden today, well some of it! Have a great day thanks for visiting.
Beautiful pictures with lovely flowers.
No matter the season nature carries on, each with some special treasures to share.
You have an abundance of beauty around you. So many things to be grateful for. I love all the photos specially the first one, the purple flower. The color of royalty.
These plants reminds us that we are indeed extraordinary in our own little ways.
I call them my purple hearts although the name is blue ginger and not ginger at all. Have a wonderful day and keep smelling the flowers!
Wow! What a pretty name, does it have a scent?
Well, if others call it ginger , ginger plant don't have blooms☺️
I wonder why they call it ginger though.
Apparently got it's name from similar looking leaves, the flowers are stunning!
Oh, I see! That's why they call it ginger plant. Yeap, I so love its vibrant color too. Lavender is such a joy to behold.
Oh really?
It’s interesting how 40+ people never feel like they’ve grown up yet it’s completely different for 20+ people
This is the highlight of my evening, I am absolutely in love.
Younger will change as the years roll on.... Thanks for comment and visiting have a wonderful day.
You’re welcome and have a wonderful day too
