The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Optimistic
This week show us something you’re optimistic about, or perhaps a talisman that helps you stay positive and hopeful, regardless of what life (and the weather!) throws your way.
“My optimism wears heavy boots and is loud” Henry Rollins
Optimistic (The Daily Post) Two
Sunshine on a winter’s day
The nature’s showing a halo
The cold and snow to fade
And soon, it will be May

“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence” Helen Keller
Optimistic (The Daily Post) One
Living, breathing, growing
Even if it is still snowing
Bending not breaking
Sometimes shaking
But soon it will be warm
After the cold and storm

Throwback Thursday 2016-01-28
Each Thursday we walk down memory lane and dig deeply into the archives of Rantings Of A Third Kind. For these posts, I have chosen some of my personal favourites. Some of them may tickle the funny bone, some even provoke thoughts and some of them will give you a view of the world in photographs taken by yours truly.
Here are a few featured today for your enjoyment today:
The Devil only asked for my Little Finger, but stole my Whole Hand (Repost TBT)
Fool me Once, or a Few more Times (Repost TBT)
I need a Different Tune to Sing to (Repost TBT)
Let the Rantings continue!!!

“I wake up and I see the face of the devil and I ask her, “What time is it?”
And she says, How much time do you want?” Diamanda Galás
The Devil asked for my Little Finger but stole my Whole Hand
You finally sunk onto the level
Where you were ready to deal with the Devil
Cutting the deal might have seemed easy
But what you found out made you queasy
What you didn’t realize when offering one finger
The Devil had hers crossed while your decision was a linger
What you thought was a small and simple deal
Turned out to be much more than a steal
You see, when striking a deal with the Devil
You will be entering at your own peril
To a contract you think you can choose
Much more than you care to loose
So, now that you got what you wanted
Still, you can’t help feeling haunted
Your eyes always checking the stern
Wondering, if and when she will return…

PART FOUR
Seaside and seagulls
Sailboats with long hulls
Blue waters and skies
Would have stayed longer,
But oh, how time flies!

“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta
PART THREE
A land filled with rocks and lava
Taking it easy with a cup of java
Especially since it’s as hot as a sauna
But still, this is almost complete nirvana

“We travel, some of us forever, to seek other places, other lives, other souls.” – Anais Nin
PART TWO
A road trip to a nearby village
If we were Vikings, we’d certainly pillage
A quaint little place
A while everyone stays
But later it’s time to set sail
And back to the resort trail

“Vamos a la playa!”
PART ONE
Into the harbour and down to the beach
Plenty of scenery if that’s what you seek
Blue skies, sunshine and warm weather
How could the holidays get any better?

“In a window seat on a plane to nowhere”
Seat by the Seashore (Seat Sunday 2016-01-24) Two
The sun is shining
The birds are flying
The air is frozen
This spot I’ve chosen
A seat in the sun
