Lest We Forget

I found this beautiful poem written by John Bailey that I would love to share with you as we remember those who fought and those who still fight for our freedoms.

Taking A Stand

I ask you to stand with me
For both the injured and the lost
I ask you to keep count with me
Of all the wars and what they cost
I ask you to be silent with me
Quietly grateful for our lot
As I expect you’re as thankful as me
For the health and life we’ve got
I ask that you wish them well with me
All those still risking their all
And I ask that you remember with me
The names of those that fall
I expect that you are proud like me
Of this great nation of ours too
So enjoying all its freedoms like me
Support those upholding them for you
I hope that you are hopeful like me
That we’ll soon bring an end to wars
So you’ll have to stand no more with me
And mourning families no different from yours
‘Til then be thankful you can stand with me
Thinking of those who now cannot
For standing here today with me
At least we show they’re not forgot

Conquering My Fears #findlumia

I was going to wait to share these photos with you but I was so proud of myself that I had to share them with you early!

I am terrified of heights. I start to shake and become light headed whenever I get too high or even too close to a balcony or a ledge. I wanted to challenge myself and reach out of my comfort zone to capture a trail area that I have always been afraid to head over to. I took my Nokia Lumia 1020 in hand and headed out there yesterday to explore the hiking trail and hopefully capture some great nature shots.

Here is what I was able to capture while battling my personal fears.

I was shaking here but this small waterfall was so breath taking and so unexpected!

This is where my journey started! A lovely little park area that dogs were running around in.

I was passing underneath the towers when I noticed how spectacular the moon looked outlined against them. So I had to take a photo looking up!

I think the colours in this one say it all!

It was well worth the trip to me! Between the waterfall and the beautiful fall colours – I was in my glory!

What is a fear you would like to conquer?

Disclosure: I received the Nokia Lumia 1020 to participate in the Story Within The Story Challenge.
