What We Can Learn From This Photo


I am still in awe over the photographer, Martin Le-May's ability to capture this image.

You learn after reading a bit that this wasn't a case of mismatched pals on a joy flight; the weasel was attacking the woodpecker, hoping for a meal.  The quoted wildlife expert explained, "the female weasel weighs less than a Mars Bar, but is ferocious as a lion."

WOW!

I think there's a lot of inspiration to be taken, given the facts.


From the Woodpecker's perspective:

~Never underestimate the element of surprise.

~Know your assets; don't be afraid to use them.

~ Cute and cuddly (as is "pretty" or "handsome") are descriptions of the physical; not the character.

~When in doubt, go for the loop de loop.  Weasel vomit washes off.

~When you see a chance, take it. 

~Never give up; it's not over until it's over.

~Do whatever it takes to fly another day.

From the Weasel's perspective:

~Know what you want, and go after it.

~Hold onto your dreams.

25 Things You'll Need to Know After High School! Wise Words for 2024!



     This post was of the Ann Landers column of The Chicago Tribune.  I think it was written by Esther "Eppie" Lederer; whose pen name was Ann Landers.  She was the twin sister of Pauline Phillips, who was of Dear Abby!

     Though it was written in 1997, twenty seven years later, I think it’s still important for each and everyone to know!

    Enjoy!

"We hold these truths, to be self-evident; 
that all humans are created equal.  
That they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights; that among these are 
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Since now, it's 248 years later...
we've hopefully learned that WE ALL ARE CREATED EQUAL!
We need to enable ALL to pursue, 
LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS! 

Here's my hub's cartoons; to help the pursuit of laughs










I'm wishing all of you, a safe, fun, and 
Happy Independence Day!

          G'day! 

          As I have written quite a bit before, it's been awhile since I've regularly written on my blog.  I started the blog in 2013.
          One of my first posts was The Perks of Being Fired.  

         Even since I was younger, I've written, bartended, cooked, made jewelry, and spent as much time as I can with all my loved ones.  
      As I hope that most of us know by now; I was told by my family, when I was younger: 

      Tomorrow is nobody's promise; you must keep your sense of humor, and do your best to look on the bright side. 
     No matter what gender, what nationality, what race, what religion, we all bleed red, and we are all born, then hopefully love, laugh, learn, live, then... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

     So, I'm gonna try to do more now, on Sadie's Gathering!  
     As my one career dream is writing, I will greatly appreciate any contributions from readers.  
     The "button" to make $ contributions is up on the right.  "DONATE"  Thank you, very much in advance!

      I'm finishing this post with a few of my cloud photos.  I love clouds! 
     No matter how different; they are mind blowing!




















Just like clouds, all humans are different; yet all of us are important!

Have a great day!
