Out of the woodz

I don’t have crow’s feet, I have happy happy memories of laughing with friends until the tears flowed. I don’t have frown lines, I have the marks of my frustrat...ion and confusion which I battled through smiling in the end. I am not going grey, I have shimmering highlights of wisdom, dashed throughout my hair. I don’t have scars, I have symbols of the strength I was able to find, when life got tough. I don’t have stretch marks, I have the marks of growth and the marks of motherhood. My tiger stripes of love. I am not fat, I bear the evidence of a life filled with abundance, blessings and good times. I am not just forgetful, I have a mind so full of stories, memories and moments there is scarce room to hold much else. I am not old, I am blessed with a life of great length something not everyone can say. Don’t change the way you look my friend, change the way you see.~ ~Donna Ashworth art: Autumn Skye Morrison

The plant life, which is said to equal 3 hectares of forests (20,000 sq m), not only mo...derates the temperature in summer and winter but also converts as much as 30 tonnes of CO2 each year. On top of that, it filters out dust particles, protects the residents from noise pollution and creates a microhabitat for insects and birds. See more
