Losing sleep over kids, work, travel & photography |
On some days I feel like one of those gargoyles on top of Notre Dame Cathedral — stiff, stuck, worn out, battered by the elements, feeling as surly as my countenance that’s been set in stone, maybe even a tad bit scary.
But when I unconsciously move my gaze away from my problems and stare into the distance, I begin to realise that I am surrounded by so much beauty.
And suddenly, I don’t feel like a gargoyle anymore. I just find myself on top of the world.
Selamat datang (welcome)!
I am Mimi -- mother, careerwoman, incidental world traveler, photography enthusiast, self-confessed gadget geek, and aspiring linguist (7 languages to date).

nice post, sometimes we just close our eyes to world. we don’t give a ourselves chance to see what around us,but instead our problems only.
I experience this too, sometimes i close my eyes on the things around me, never minding the beauty it shares, but the problems that keep pounding my head, and when i open my eyes, i feel overwhelmed by the light, an enlightenment from God above that yes, He will never let me down.
The beauty of life depends on the colors that we’re looking at. Postcard material pic!
the gargoyle seemed to be transfixed by the looming eiffel tower in the distance. great picture!
it’s so blah on my front as well, but just a few days to go, i’m looking forward for a change of scenery. ^-^
we can choose to be unmoving gargoyles, or soaring birds with views such as this.
there are some things we can’t change but we can always change our attitude!
