Fabulous Friday --Nurture Your Horns Edition


It is going to be a fabulous 2015  because I intend to follow the advice given me by my dragon guide, Rumbelfyre,  around my birthday a few weeks ago:
"Nurture your horns."

He explained that a dragon's horns its unique expression. They announce who that dragon is and reflect what he or she does.
The human application is simple, follow your dreams, desires, wants, wishes, call it what you like. But follow the urge to create, express, be, and do, and do it in the way unique to you. 
Nurture you.

Good or bad does not matter. They are in many ways artificial standards.  If is is right for you and executed in the way best to you, done to the best of your abilities at the time it is done, then it is good.
What anyone else thinks about it is not your concern.

This is in general, of course. If it is how you want to make a living, then get good at it and exploit a market, even if you create that market yourself. The standard may still be artificial, but it's the one you have to hit in order to make a living.

I'll be nurturing my horns this year through drawing, writing, photography, playing with my food, and whatever else comes to mind, because nurturing one's horns is fabulous.

Here's an example:

Fabulous Friday


Why Fabulous Friday?
Because the world is filled with fabulous things.
It may be because they are wonderful.
It could be because they are extraordinary.
Or it may simply be because they are mythical.
It doesn't matter. What's important is they are fabulous and deserve to be celebrated.
This is the logical extension of gratitude.
Gratitude is great. I've been posting about gratitude on Mondays for several years now.  What happens when you do that is what has been ordinary becomes extraordinary.
You perceive the magic in the mundane.

For example:

Plant a few seeds and you get fresh, tasty peas.

As for Photo– Finish Friday I am nowhere near done with it.  It will appear from time to time as the mood strikes me.
But right now, the world is a fabulous place –for many values of that word—and I will celebrate it.
Oh, and the fresh garden peas?
They taste fabulous.
