Recently, a friend good-naturedly asked me to post some photos on my blog.  It is a very good suggestion except that I don’t know how to …. yet.  I can hear my spouse echoing behind me, ‘Disgraceful!’.  I know honey, I am trying hard to catch up with our high tech world here. I’ve been visiting other blogs posting  their colourful  photos, with me punctuating exclamations of oohhs and aahhs.

All these beautiful photos reminded me of my own.  Especially this one particular shot.  It is unforgettable.  The shot was taken at the spacious garden of my parents’ house.  The subject is a boy two years of age, wearing a red shirt with short yellow sleeves.  The day was breezy and the sun rays created a warm golden light.  It was already the late afternoon.  The snapshot is natural with a willing subject.  The toddler seated in his tiny red sports car with both hands on the steering wheel, a smile plastered on his face.  It is not a forced kind of smile.  It is one that is warm and spontaneous. His  sparkling eyes and ruffled hair reflect the relaxed mood of the boy.   He is the epitome of pure happiness.  That day, the camera lens captured a timeless portrait of the simple pleasures of life. This was taken five years ago, and I have never attained a snapshot that captured the soul of a boy as perfect as this one since then.   Can you see this snapshot with your mind’s eye?  Maybe a little of his happiness will rub off you.  Here’s wishing you happy happiness day! 

I really must learn to upload photos but first, I need to find out what does RSS feed mean. 

Till we meet again on writingbeginnings, have a great day today.

Cheers!

Beginnings are sometimes difficult, especially when you are not technology savvy and, permalinks and widgets sound like parts of a vacuum cleaner.  And there are tags ( none of these show any pricing ), plugins ( where is the leakage??) and acronyms like HTML and URL as part of my brain teasers.

Already, my self appointed boss who is footing my website monthly maintenance fees has voiced his impatience and my incompetency in putting up a presentable and workable blog.  And so, here I am typing wildly on the keyboard trying to jumpstart my way to a brilliant blogsite. ( if ever this vocabulary exists).   

Ah well, everything begins with the first step, and in my case, every blog begins with the first post.  Never mind if my header still screams ‘Company Name’ and my inspirational slogan is ‘company slogan here’.  I will be working on that soon….

Cheers and have a good week.
