Sending you rainbows – Wordless Wednesday

Wordless Wednesday banner

Parts of Australia are burning but where we live it's been unseasonably cold. Sharing my rainbow shots for Wordless Wednesday - "Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud" - this quote by Maya Angelou is very fitting.

Have you ever felt discombobulated?

Feelings of discombobulation are rampant as I realise I've experienced every season over the past 4 weeks. It's a favourite word of mine too 🙂

Hi I’m Debbie, 2021 is my year of being bold!

Debbie July 2021
Debbie July 2021

Welcome to Deb’s World

This is the world according to me…in photos, words, stories and sometimes even poetry. It’s a fun creative outlet, and as a bonus I get to meet some amazing bloggers from around the world.

My aim is to make you smile, educate you in some way, maybe inspire you and to share my world, while learning about your world.

I love an adventure and I always seem to find one  – or it finds me!  It keeps me feeling young :)

I’m living life to the fullest and embracing the challenges that come with midlife! I’m now a grandmother x 4, and I am as happy as a pig in mud.

Please take your time exploring my world – it’s full of stories, travels, adventures, photos and love.

I appreciate your visit, your likes and any comments or feedback you care to leave me.  Feel free to share the love 😊

Hi, Deb – I so loved following your travel posts for this series. Your photography not only shows your immense creativity, it also reveals the soul of what you were trying to capture – and delightfully displays your joie de vivre (which is completely contagious). Thank you for joining in (and running with it) and for the shoutouts!

If you stop and listen hard enough you can almost hear the trees coming alive with spring.
A painted sunset sky - my view from the end of the driveway. It made for a peaceful end to the day.
Our Rotary Club is honouring the generous donations of supporters, (plus our own funds), by purchasing 2 trio taxi bikes (electric trikes) for use in our local community. We will start to train pilots so we can take the elderly, those who can’t ride a bike for whatever reason and anyone who is challenged in any way. This will be a service to those who would like to be taken for a ride and we will be honoured to provide this service.
A feeling of contentment filled me as we sat outside at @nestcinemacafe this morning with friends, enjoying a hot chocolate and lemon yoghurt cake. Yum!
Sometimes we don’t know our own strength, so today I’m trying to recognise that I am strong, I am caring, I am resilient and I am proud of myself for what I’ve achieved so far in my life. I have strong connections, the strength of my convictions and belief in myself.
A fabulous way to start the day! Exercise done, breakfast in the morning sunshine out on the deck, kookaburras laughing in the background, a quick read of my current book and a cup of tea.

Travelling is in my family's blood and since being forced into an early retirement (due to a redundancy) I'm making the most of my 'spare time'. Along with travel, Rotary, running, cycling, reading, photography and social media, I love to blog. The community network, continually learning new skills, and sharing ideas is a source of great joy. Other things that make me happy are my husband, our three grown up daughters and family. I now have two new granddaughters, and two grandsons. Taking pleasure in the everyday beauty around us is essential to a happy life - take time to smell the roses! It costs nothing to smile :)
