HAPPINESS . . .

. . . doesn't mean that life is perfect; it just means that you have decided to look beneath the imperfections. - (Author unknown.)

When I first saw this image on the screen, my immediate thought was to delete it because the reflections in the rain-splattered kitchen window spoilt the picture, but when I looked at it again later I managed to convince myself that they actually add something to it . . .

Well, at least it gives me something to write about on a dull day indoors, which accords with my ethos that words can sometimes be more powerful than a picture, and I'm happy with that.
