Hello ... How are you?
Today's prompt at Our Beautiful World is Reflection
Do go visit the Blog to see what my friends are sharing
Wen picked the prompt this week and it seems ironic ...Things have happened that have caused me to do some reflecting of my own but first up, here are my photos
I love this shot, it makes me feel calm, even though the day I took it, it is was not so calm ... It is the ideal place I would sit and just reflect on things in life
The simple sweet and beautiful things....
The warm and happy times
...The sun closing down a perfect day, reflecting a trail of gold
And the unexpected things that mystify and amaze, and sometimes throw you off balance...
I've not been blogging much except for DT work ... It's a time issue
A friend of mine is terminally ill and for reasons I won't go into her daughter has opted out of any involvement...
I've been going in to see her daily in the hospice and as well as getting her out into the garden for short spells, it has been left to me to help her make big decisions...
Don't get me wrong, I am only too happy that I can be there for her and do whatever I can to ease her mind and let her know she is not alone and she is loved...We are old friends, she trusts me, that means a lot and it's a big thing. But I need to get things right and it isn't always simple
So yes, I've been reflecting a lot on things, including our many years of friendship... and how blessed we are to know each other
Till soon my friends, take care
~ Ros ~

I am so sorry about your friend, Ros. So fortunate to have been such good friends--a blessing to both of you, I know. You're in my thoughts. These are some of my favorite pictures--incredible shots!
I am really sorry about your friend and all her problems. You are so nice and right to help her out. Someone has to. Wishing her and you all the best!Great photos bytheway!AriadnefromGreece!
Beautiful water photo's Ros, you know how much I love the beach! Prayers for you and your friend, we don't always have an option to have children care about us. It seems they are so into themselves these days that we might as well not be around. I do understand how important being a friend and helping out is for her. You are blessed to have the opportunity to be that good friend that I know you are!Happy Sunday!Thanks for the beautiful photo's!
Such beautiful and thoughtful images. So very sorry you are going through a tough time at the moment and what a gorgeous friend you are to your very ill friend. Cherish the time together and she'll know she's loved by you and not alone. So very sad and a very stressful time for you x
Thanks for sharing your most beautiful and impressive reflections, Ros.
Blessings and love,
Jeanneke.

Beautiful photos Ros. Your situation is a difficult one and I wish you the strength to cope. What a good friend you are!
How wonderful for you to be there for your friend, Ros! I'm sure it is appreciated! I'm sure it is a difficult time for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Take care, hugs!
Oh, that's rough. I'm so sorry about your friend, Ros. It surely does make you stop and think about what's important and worthwhile. Beautiful photographs. I think my favorites are the shore bird and the palm tree shadow. Take care.
Beautiful photos Ros!
Lovely photos sweetie....and take care XXXXX
I LOVE your photos and I LOVE that you are there for your friend who really needs you right now. She is so lucky to have you and I KNOW you will provide her with the utmost care and respect and friendship! Thanks for being so kind.
I love the reflection pics Ros!! I understand about the time and emotional demands Ros, Im in that same boat right now too. Im sure it is special but difficult to be there for your friend when her family isn't. Seems life had some giant demands on many of us right now. Will be praying for you :)
Beautiful post!
Like you, I am so tired everyday when I get back to the room and hardly have time and energy to do anything on the blog, and I am excited that we will be meeting soon!
Sending love from Amsterdam!
Wow, such beautiful shots Ros, love the pics of the water! It's very kind of you to be there for your friend, I'm sure she is very thankful to have you. hugs :)
Your in my thoughts Ros, so sorry to hear about your friend. She is lucky to have such a wonderful friend!
As usual, your photography is wonderful - very soothing images. I'm very sorry to hear about your friend, though, and am sending you lots of positive energy which I can easily spare these days, being on a gorgeous vacation.
Beautiful photos, wow, how amazing you were able to capture all those gorgeous 'reflections'! I am so sorry you have to go through all the pain of knowing you will be losing a friend, but lucky her for having you! Will be thinking of you...and enjoy some time with Kirsty!!
Beautiful shots! Sorry to hear about your friend. But she has you now and that is a blessing in her time of great need.It is easy to be friendly when things are good and it is hardest when things are not so good and those who stay are true friends. You are that.
Dear Ros, I'm so sorry your friend is so ill and her daughter letting her down in this hard time. You're a sweetheart to take care of her so much. Take care, sweetie! Your photos are beautiful and the place of the first photo really is looking very soothing and peaceful. Sending you big hugs, xx
