Life in Holler: Outtakes from a grand, near perfect day

Click on headline for introduction with photos

By Shamarie Claiborne

Sometimes I get so busy I forget to stop and enjoy the life the Lord has given me. These shots from the last 24 hours have helped put me back in balance and remember what is really important in my life. The Lord seems to put things in my viewfinder that speak to my heart. Some times it is humorous, sometimes thoughtful, but always heartfelt. Those moments from him are some of my greatest blessings. I humbly present them for your viewing and pray you have a blessed day - full of happiness, love, and laughter! - Shamarie Claiborne

The full Moon last night is called the Honey Moon and the last time it was on Friday the 13th was in 1919. I don't think anyone in those days really cared about Friday the 13th, but I hope it was as gorgeous for them as it was in the holler. - Shamarie Claiborne

We all have moments in life
when it seems as if no matter what decision we make there could be negative consequences; yet, if we step back and look closely, it becomes clear that the beauty of the moment out weighs any negativity we many have to endure. It is called perspective . . . where is yours? - Shamarie Claiborne

Life in the Holler: Okay? or the Best? The choice is yours



2014-06-14 - The Holler, Old Clearsprings Road, Ozark, KY - Photo by Shamarie Claiborne.
I took maybe 15 shots of this dragonfly. . . the best ended up being the last.
Once I got home I was really glad I didn't settle for just an okay shot. It reminded me that each day we have to decide what we want . . . just an okay day or the best day we can live. What will you chose today? - Shamarie Claiborne

Life in the Holler: Signed, 'Polly Anna,' aka Shamarie



2014-06-14 - Photo by Shamarie Claiborne.
Some view life
as a long and winding road full of trials and tribulations .... me not so much. . . for me it is about the beauty along the way and staying focused on the blessings each day brings . . . in other words the glass is always nigh full, never almost empty. And if it is almost empty . . . we can always find something good to fill it back up with. Signed "Polly Anna" AKA "Shamarie" - Shamarie Claiborne
