Mums the Word
Self-respect cannot be hunted.It cannot be purchased.
It is never for sale...
It comes to us when we are alone,
in quiet moments,
in quiet places,
when we suddenly realize that
knowing the good, we have done it;
knowing the beautiful, we have served it;
knowing the truth, we have spoken it.

Chasity, My wife and I were married after a terrible snow storm in Denver, in December of 1982. With Denver was snowed in the florist couldn't make their delivery so we used the flowers left on the Beema (pulpit) after Friday Night Services. They were Mums, and they hold a special memory for me. AJ
Chas I'm not sure where you find these beautiful quotes and sayings but I truly love them. Your picture in gorgeous as always, sending many prayers for Shauna. I think of her every day especially this time of night......:-) Hugs
Lovely details and tones in this image.
You have us looking right down into the heart of the mum - lovely!
What wonderful light.
The detail is amazing and the way the light and dark is....perfect!!
Beautiful!! It's picture perfect. And those beautiful quotes complete everything!
That's the most beautiful post I've read so far today! A gorgeous picture, and I love the quote too. So very true!
S/he could well have added that no kind of respect can ever be bought, either. If you try to make someone respect you by force, respect is not what you get for your pains.
Simply stunning...and such an artful photo.
My Macro is Nautical And I also added a bit about a new meme I'm inviting everyone; if you'd like to join in on the challenge. Come over and find out what day on which it will take place....join me?
Hope your Monday is treating you well.
