Take nothing seriously - except for licking the bowl!

"Our lives are not as limited as we think they are; the world is a wonderfully weird place; consensual reality is significantly flawed; no institution can be trusted, but love does work; all things are possible; and we all could be happy and fulfilled if we only had the guts to be truly free and the wisdom to shrink our egos and quit taking ourselves so damn seriously."
- Tom Robbins
(quote found here)
In the midst of work and painting and housework
There are always gentle reminders of this.
Mind you, I have to fight to get the bowl now!

  8. Great advise - you really can't take yourself too seriously while licking out the bowl! Especially if you forgo the fingers!

  11. We have to divide the mess between the 4 of us or there is chaos; 1 person gets the bowl, one person gets the spoon and 2 people share the beaters!

    Happy Friday Ange!

    Best wishes,
    Natasha.

  14. It's true, the ego has a lot to answer for, and it doesn't appreciate cake-mix.

    Why does anyone bother baking cakes when the mixture is nicer? Next dinner-party I'll stick chocolate cake mix in pretty ramekins and call it something fancy. Chocolate melée, perhaps.

Can't think of a famous quote that says 'communication makes the world go round' so you 'll just have to get my clumsy way of putting it instead ;-) Your comments are precious. Thanks for dropping by!
