More sculptures
Some heads floating in the pond, such cool sight to see. The Cones by Bert Flugelman are so impressive sculpture. You can't miss them when visiting NGA. Of course I have to be feature on here every now and then. I was sitting on the back of Canberra Lake across from the Carririon.
It's all in the garden
Our day out to the National gallery of Australia where the exhibition of the Degas is on at the moment. We walked through the sculptures garden amongst the great sculptures being display there. I have been there many times in the past, but this was the first time we enter the gallery through the sculptures garden. Such a delightful sculptures on display there. The native garden is also in full bloom. The Degas exhibition is one of the highlight of mine. I have seen some of his works before in Paris, but it was good to see them again here,
Creative on the move
Creativity is my everyday and anytime living. I love road trips because I can do almost anything, stitching, knitting, quilting, embroidery, applique even crazy quilt. On this trip I worked on some baby singlets and finishing off some hearts applique I started at Christmas and I hope to keep going with the project until I have enough for a little quilt.
The Billy Tea
A half way stop to ACT at Holbrook, the town where submarine parks. A sign of The Billy Tea painted on a corrugated iron wall alongside of the road is very attractive and after cup of tea later we are on our merry way again.
My Favourite Spot
After taking the lunch, I start tidying the shelf behind of my house. Before that, I like this spot as my family and I put the books we buy there. The shelf is full with books. There were many school magazines, reference books and old books on the shelf. So, I decided to clear them out. Then, there are more places for new books.
After clearing the unused books out, there are only dictionaries, magazines, readers' digest, novels and so on. Now , this is one of my favourite spot in my home. I like passing by the shelf to have a lookk on the shelf. It looks more tidy and clear to see.
This is the whole view of the shelf. Three level and I think is full already.
This two levels just contain chinese and english books. I just finished half of them only.
This is the best part. The authors that I like the most. Jodi Picoult, Dan Brown and Mitch Albom. I want to collection the books that they write. Make it a collection for the three authors.
I have a dream and wish. I dream of having a room filled with books that I like. Like library. Then when I'm free, I can sit down in the room and enjoy my free time. Hope that this dream can come true.

Thought For Days
It is the art of living, the purpose of our existence. Happiness is the true index of quality of life. Without happiness, life is dry and meaningless. With happiness, life immediately becomes fulfilling and wonderful. Happiness is an infectious feeling that immediately lifts the sagging spirits of people. Happy people keep themselves happy because they know the little ways to appreciate themselves and to see the humour and magic in each moment.
Be Content
Wherever I am is wherever I am meant to be, whatever I am doing is whatever I am meant to be doing and whatever everyone else is doing is exactly what they are meant to be doing - this is contentment. If you do want to change where you are, or what you are doing, the first thing is to be content with wherever you are and whatever you are doing right now! Paradoxically that's what attracts opportunities and invitations to be somewhere else! Why? Because you are a living magnet, and contentment is one of your most attractive qualities. And the law of attraction says that according to your dominant thoughts so you will attract the people and circumstances into your life. Being content right now attracts the best possible future.
Integrity
When the thoughts we think are the same as the words we speak, others will feel our integrity.
Treasures
All human beings have a place inside which is filled with treasures; be still and you will find it.
Be At Peace
You spend most of your life running after things, doing things. You forget that being comes before doing. Those who remember this secret make an effort to "be" and discover that when they stop and observe, life helps and brings whatever is needed. Learning to be is learning to be at peace. It is our most fundamental nature.
Start Early
The best time to awaken both body and spirit is in the early morning. We are fresh, in solitude, and the vibrations of the world are at their calmest. It is not surprising that you will find all experienced meditators and yogis up with the dawn, inviting the sun of spirit to shine into the heart of their soul. The first half hour of conscious awareness will be the foundation of your day. Make an early start. Meditate, set the switch of your consciousness and calibrate your energy for the day. You'll be surprised the difference it makes.
The Virtue of Sweetness
Just as eating and serving something sweet makes your taste buds feel sweetness, and for a while after, you remain happy, become sweet-natured yourself so that words filled with sweetness are constantly spoken. Such sweet words make both you and others happy. Use this method to always sweeten everyone's mouth; constantly maintain sweet attitude, sweet words and sweet actions.

Every Thought
Fill every thought with determination, every step with courage and every word with love.
