Photo was taken last evening at Altamount, Millstreet, Co.Cork (Irl)

With temperatures hitting 20C during the last few days across Ireland, it really feels like summer all over again, even during this month of September. The butterfly in our photo caught my attention as it landed on a flower and waited patiently enough to get its picture taken!

Thought on Wednesday – September – 04/09/2013

I wish…..

I wish I were big enough to honestly admit all my shortcomings.
I wish I was tall enough to tower above all negativity.
I wish I was strong enough to treasure love.
I wish I could believe that I am making a difference.
I wish I was brave enough to welcome criticism.
I wish I was compassionate enough to understand people’s limitations and human frailties.
I wish I was wise enough to know how precious my blessings are.
I wish I was humble enough to admit when I’ve made a mistake.
I wish I was human enough to forgive someone who has hurt me.
I wish I was enthusiastic enough to get the really important things done each day.
I wish I could pray for those who need some help today.
Many of these are not just wishful thinking and many of them are within our reach.
