Please share your 'Thought of the Day'

Sunflower

Saw this sign on Twitter just now and thought "That actually makes sense, I should take better care of my self!"

Please share your Thought of the Day - it can be anything you like - quote, poetry, proverb, photo, cartoon, drawing, joke.          - it will be fascinating to see what everyone chooses. 

P.S. If you can't see the photo this is what the sign says:  

"Don't forget....    Drink water   

and get some sunlight,

because you're basically a

house plant with more

complicated emotions."

    Just one of the many I see often from various dyslexia resources I have joined, being dyslexic as well as being ND / aspie is seeing things from a different view point, the same thing but able to accept it can be more than how it “ must” be perceived,

     take care all, Robert we seem to like the same things, nostalgic thoughts never leave me, 

    I dress Victorian! Worker style, honest, clean, but Sunday best,,, add hoc mixture of what is available, jumble sales my favourite when youn, @ sunflower. I was able to have things seemingly out of reach, for pennies as well, discarded no longer considered of value, but still perfectly capable of being and doing what they were intended for.

    take care all, a nice upbeat subject this, Smiley

    I really enjoyed reading this Lonewarrior - love the thought of your honest, clean, worker's Sunday best clothes. I agree about the enjoyment of using things other people have let go of. I am a natural scavenger and a bit of a magpie when it comes to sparkly shiny stuff. As a child I collected pieces of discarded solder in a matchbox, convinced it was a precious metal.

    This is really fascinating! As a teenager I dressed in a very unconventional way thanks to all those marvellous jumble sales - hats, men's jackets, waistcoats and ties.

    I was shy and self conscious but if I was dressed eccentrically I didn't mind  if people looked at me strangely.

    In my early 20s I went through a phase of only wearing pink and purple. Then I went for an interview for a professional job, wearing a boring blue shirt-waister dress from M&S. 

    Since then I've always worn clothes that make me feel like I fit into my current work role. I've had lots of jobs so quite a few costume changes! 

    As part of the process of uncovering my autistic identity I am looking forward to discovering who I really am.
