Beauty in the Ordinary

This is not about being brilliant, or extraordinary, it's not about wanting to be famous, or making headlines, or trying to impress...this about sharing a 'gift' each day with the world...to lift the spirit of people when they read this blog, to show them the beauty in the ordinary.
"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." Raold Dahl

Who designed those machines anyway?

  2. Jacqueline, Such a meaningful photo. I hope all checks out well on your mammo.......You would think if we have put an man on themoon for over 50 years we could have invented something other than a Panini Maker to examine a breast!

  8. Fingers crossed for everyone's mammograms all the time. 'They' did inform me this time, because I am on the shady-side of 55 and with a sister and dad having succumbed to the dreaded disease, that now I have to have one every year. I'm going to do a bit of homework before I agree...I was told the new digital machines have 25% less radiation, but I don't know how significant this is.
    What I would like to know is the success rate of mammogram screening in early detection and therefore treatment. Stay tuned gals...I'll let you know what I find out.
    And thanks Chania for organizing this...see what we get to discuss!

  9. J - What a brilliant picture. Hope your mammogram results are good. Those contraption things they use remind me of those old fashioned mangles our mothers used to wring the clothes out with!!

  10. I'm pretty sure a guy invented the mammogram machine!! Although I've never had one myself, I've heard that it's not the most enjoyable experience. Hope yours turns out fine :-)

    I have no idea why Hell's Point is named that. All I can think of is that the people who live there wanted to keep it all to themselves, so they gave it an unappealing name so nobody would ever want to go there :-)
