5. This is so romantic :)
"A heart-shaped meadow, created by a farmer as a tribute to his late wife, can be seen from the air near Wickwar, South Gloucestershire. The point of the heart points towards Wotton Hill, where his wife was born."

6. I Love this stunning sculpture.
"Paige Bradley created one of the most striking sculptures I’ve seen in recent times. Her masterpiece, entitled Expansion, is a beautiful woman seeking inner piece but fractured and bleeding with light. “From the moment we are born, the world tends to have a container already built for us to fit inside: a social security number, a gender, a race, a profession,” says Bradley. “I ponder if we are more defined by the container we are in than what we are inside. Would we recognize ourselves if we could expand beyond our bodies?” "

7. I Love this quote about reading.
"Reading fiction not only develops our imagination and creativity, it gives us the skills to be alone. It gives us the ability to feel empathy for people we’ve never met, living lives we couldn’t possibly experience for ourselves, because the book puts us inside the character’s skin."
said by Anne Patchett.
Anne Patchett won the Orange Prize for Fiction and the PEN/Faulkner Award in 2002 for her novel Bel Canto.

8. I Love this quirky chair. Lol :-)

9. I Love this beautiful story...
"Former Disneyland mermaid, Edie, shares what it was like to don a tail and swim in the happiest place on earth:
Being a professional mermaid for Walt was nothing to take lightly.  The Productions Department measured us from hip to toe for neoprene tails, complete with large flukes, and green starfish bras.  We were taught to slither into the Submarine Lagoon from a hidden chamber and dolphin kick underwater to magically surface in the center of the pool.  There we sat on a rock and untangled our hair with immense blue and yellow plastic combs, and plucked ersatz lyres.We worked in shifts of two, and traded off hourly. 

Each time a submarine passed, we dove underwater to frolic about, hang upside down by spinning our tails, and to wave at curious faces plastered against the portholes.  With practice we learned to smile without emitting bubble screens that would distort our faces into repulsive creatures from the deep.  For all this we were paid $1.85 an hour - a whopping net of $59.55 each week."

10. I Love this clever 'Lean Bookshelf' - designed to keep books upright.

This week I learnt that :

- Your heartbeat pattern changes and mimics the music you listen to.
- It's not so much what you say that counts, it's how you make people feel.
- If you want someone to listen to you, start the conversation with "I shouldn't be telling you this".
- According to studies, the more you talk about someone, the more you fall for them.

And.... lastly I Love these quotes :

"I found a book entitled, "How to Be Amazing at Anything."
It has only a single page inside and was just one word long :
PRACTICE"
@Writergram

"Blessed are the weird people - poets, misfits, writers, mystics, painters, troubadours - for they teach us to see the world through different eyes."
(Jacob Nordby)

"We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about."
(Charles Kingsley)

"The whole of life is just like watching a film. Only, it's as though you always get in ten  minutes after the big picture has started, and no-one will tell you the plot, so you have to work it out all yourself from the clues."
('Moving Pictures' by Terry Pratchett)

“So interesting how life can be so confusing and beautifully put together at the same time.”
-Mario

Until next week :)
