Wise words from a new grandpa.
Walk it off! ~ One of my favorite dual meaning sayings. Many people know the words from a scrape or a fall when their father checks the damage and then utters those famous words, “Walk it off!”. The same phrase may be used in the case of an emotional scrape or fall. Check for damage, then move on.
At present, I carry these words with me on my left wrist every day.
Move Forward ~ My personal mantra after 2002 gaining more meaning and empowerment after 2005. When bad things happen you can’t look back. You must look to the future and focus your energies in that direction.
I don’t take photograph’s, they are a gift! ~ My photography is something that I do because it gives me a great pleasure. I never crop, edit or enhance my photos afterwards. I always try to get the shot right the first time. When everything that goes into a shot works, it’s like a gift to me.
Likewise I like to share my work. That is my gift to my family and friends.
