Outback off the beaten track.
The way to go.
Could be by the sea is the place to be.
Get your motor running on motivation it is the fuel for living.
Music, dance, take a chance on romance. Getting in natures flow is the way to go.
Don’t be late don’t stagnate time don’t wait.
The day has begun with the rising sun.
Fishing in stead of in bed wishing.
What ever gets you going. Listen to my words. Be up with the birds. Ready to roll go for a stroll. Jump on your bike or go for a hike.
Don’t stagnate the day won’t wait.
I really do wish you were here.
The sun rises each day with a great display. The breeze in the trees caresses the birds and the bees.
Mother Nature loves you, if you love her too.
Ration T V, it is mostly evil you’ll see.
Technology is ok if used in the right way.
But it can be an addiction, a dreadful affliction.
You will stagnate and stay up too late.
Love is for giving, life is for living.
Especially for you.
The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love and to be loved in return.
With nature’s gifts, your attitude shifts.
The clouds disappear you are glad you are here.
You don’t need drugs whisky or beer.
All you need is the air you breathe.
Food with wonderful flavour, nature provides for you to savour.
A warm bed at night and you are alright.
A cosy corner at Bondi for little Jack Horner.
I know there is more you can buy at the store.
That is ok if you don’t get carried away.
There is a difference between wanting and needing.
It could just be your ego you are feeding.
It can be tempting and hard to resist..
Mindful is consciously aware, so you should take care.
To be mindful of the path you are traveling on.
When you’ve spent your money and your time is gone.
You realise hoarding and greed, for all those things you did not need. Were impermanent and passing pleasure, costing you your time and leisure.
No rush just do it.
Then you will know, this was not the way to go.
Spending the gold in the morning.

Oh I do like this post , and so very true .
Just off to walk the dog. 🙂
Dogs are a good way to get us out walking. Besides being kind, forgiving, faithful companions.
So pleased you liked the post and kind of you to take the time to let me know.
Awesome lines and visuals, jack, defining your philosophy of optimism, healthy living, and staying close to bounties of nature. Your life itself would convey the above message, of which I am an ardent follower…best wishes..
Your comment lets me know my words have been understood.
I do try to motivate people to adopt a life style I have found rewarding.
I do realise that there are a vast variety of different circumstances, so there is no one way.
So try the hat on, if the hat fits wear it.
Kind regards Raj.
Hmmm… you make me think and reconsider life. Good!
Nice to hear my post is able to get people thinking. I appreciate your feed back.
Each one of these clever little couplets is complete in itself! And it’s funny you posted this after I awoke this morning, uncommonly slow to rise, but there it is – saying to myself (like in an old John Wayne movie), “You’re burning daylight!” ❤
“Well le’me tell you something little lady” “A an must do what a man must do.”
That looked such a beautiful morning in front of the fisherman, but I think he was huddled up keeping warm (or putting bait on his hook 🙂 ) Living life to the full, Jack! You do a good job 🙂
It was a cool morning and not a spectacular sunrise but there were people up ready to give it their best shot.
The early morning people make great photo subjects and smile easily.
I so enjoyed this , Jack …and the photos are dazzling and so is the way I see the morning today after a long weary night ….so thank you and with love , megxxx
Jack.. another Golden piece of writing also from your good self.. Loved this poem.. “There is a difference between wanting and needing.It could just be your ego you are feeding.”… So true.. And “Mother Nature loves you, if you love her too.”.. 🙂
Love to be up early when the air still seems still, only the birds chirping.. We love this time in the allotments for a couple of hours before breakfast.. I often pick my Kale for a smoothie.. add a few raspberries along with other goodies..
I am going to try my hand at making blackcurrent jelly/jam tomorrow from our first crop of blackcurrents.. A kind neighbour gave us his old bush last autumn, Hubby wrenched his back lol trying to dig it out.. 🙂 I went around today with a bunch of sweetpeas as a thankyou, as I picked our 3rd picking, I now have enough to make it.. And will take them a pot or two..
Its a good life when you get up and keep your motor running Jack…. 🙂 Thank you for sharing such a lovely post.. Its always peaceful and refreshing here among your words and photos.. xx
Blessings Sue
So good to get your comments Sue letting me know what you enjoy about my post and what you are enjoying in your garden.
Pauline and I like your allotment garden post. It is good to see the wholesome nourishment that can be produced by two people from a small area. There are more suburban people becoming aware of the benefits of a small garden. Just remind hubby look after his back. All the best may your garden continue to flourish._/\_
Its all healed now thank you Jack.. He has a habit of thinking he is still a spring chicken.. And can be heard squawking like one when he forgets lol.. 🙂 Glad you enjoyed… It keeps us fit and out of mischief. _/\_
