“Life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.”
~Henry David Thoreau
Try not to get mired in pettiness or caught up in insignificant details that muddy up the mind. Free yourself to see the big picture that is staring you in the face. Simplify. Let go and live in the moment. When it’s all said and done, who will remember all these pesky details? Don’t get lost focusing all your concentration on one particular flower while a whole garden awaits you.
~SBI

Deep and meaningful words and beautiful photos!
Hi Justine, thanks so much my friend.
Welcome!
Sneaky of you! You took the opposite view of most of the other entries I’ve seen. Your caution not to get hung up on the small stuff really comes through strongly in the context of the Challenge.
Thanks Beyond: I try to be sneaky when I can… 😉 haha
Wow! Such a pretty photo! That quote is so true, and your words are too. 😀
Thanks Cathy! I appreciate that. 😀
