Photo was taken yesterday at Tooreenbawn, Millstreet, Co.Cork (Irl)

The main photo was taken yesterday in fabulous sunshine with temperatures 28-30C and lovely round hay bales being made. The small inset photo was taken exactly a year ago when it was nothing but rain, mud and stress. What a difference a year makes!

The Second Ten Commandments ~Author Unknown

1. Thou shall not worry, for worry is the most unproductive of all human activities.

2. Thou shall not be fearful, for most of the things we fear never come to pass.

3. Thou shall not cross bridges before you come to them, for no one yet has succeeded in accomplishing this.

4. Thou shall face each problem as it comes. You can only handle one at a time anyway.

5. Thou shall not take problems to bed with you, for they make very poor bed partners!

6. Thou shall not borrow other people’s problems. They can better care for them than you can.

7. Thou shall not try to relive yesterday as it is forever gone. Concentrate on what is happening in your life and be happy as best you can today.

8. Thou shall be a good listener, for only when you listen do you hear ideas different from your own. It is hard to learn something new when you are talking, and some people do know more than you do.

9. Thou shall not become “bogged down” by frustration, for 90% of it is rooted in self-pity and will only interfere with positive action.

10. Thou shall count thy blessings, never overlooking the small ones, for a lot of small blessings add up to big ones.
