When things are spectacularly dreadful; when things
are absolutely appalling; when everything is superb and wonderful and
marvellous and happy - say these four words to yourself.
They will give you a sense of perspective
and help you also to make the most of what is good
and be stoical about what is bad.
This too will pass

Thank you so much for this great meme. For other wonderful skies all over the world click on logo.
Hello again Wil. You must have posted shortly after I left a comment on the previous post. I love the Dutch windmill. They are so fascinating. I had a small wooden one in my flower bed in Florida, but the strong wind storms tore it up. I now have a plastic one with metal blades and little solar panels on top which lights it up slightly in the evening. I liked my wooden one better. Can't have everything! Lisa
The countryside in the Netherlands is so lovely. It looks restful, even though it takes a lot of energy to keep a place looking so nice. ;-) Happy Sky Watch!
These pictures are SO absolutely lovely, like always! They make me think of Summer time! I also LOVE that thought. It is always so important to remember those words! I pray you have a lovely Friday tomorrow and a delightful weekend! Many blessings to you!
Those clouds are absolutely gorgeous! I think that's my word for the day. There have been so many stunning photos, it's hard to say anything else. Plus the pain killers are making me very mellow :)
I have enjoyed my visit to the Netherlands. I don't think I've been here before, if I have I don't remember. The pictures are lovely, and I will be back often to enjoy your beautiful photos.
I visited your wonderful country and stayed for about a month - a lifetime ago.....wish I could remember the town's name I stayed in. The Grommer family was just wonderful to me and showed me just about all of Holland. Your excellent photos bring back many wonderful memories. What a great SWF post!
And Claire Rayner's word are so needed for the here and now. Thank you.
wonderful skies and one of my all time sayings that i use most is this too shall pass! but sometimes in the thick of it it sure gets overwhelming :) Happy SWF!

Love your photos today as well as your gentle reminder. The clods and rolling hills are much like where I was raised. Beautiful.
Lovely photos, I'll have to remember those four words, This To Will Pass.
Have a fabulous week-end.
