Intention
Each day presents new opportunity to view life from a different perspective. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the daily grind that we forget to stop for a moment and reflect on the beauty that surrounds us or just be present in the moment. The daily perspective is a personal blog reminding me to pause each day and take in a moment or experience, capture it and store that moment in time.

Date?
I’m hoping not an axe to the head. I think the act of intentionality can definitely keep life interesting, waking up with no real plan for the day or weekend can certainly lead to some dull moments…..

The Beginning?
This fallen tree is actually where it all began. I had wanted to build a treehouse for my boys but wasn’t too sure on where on the property to place it. I call it a treehouse as it’s near a tree and on stilts…..

Its out there somewhere

What homework?
There are few things more enjoyable than an afternoon swim after a long hot day at school. The rule is supposed to be no swimming until all homework is complete but I often find the boys dive…..

Don’t plan everything
If everything in life was meticulously planned down to every detail, would there be any room left for the excitement of the unknown? Of my extensive travels in South Africa I could say that a large portion…..

Keep it real?
With modern digital image processing you can alter an image almost unrecognisable, you could literally take a lion and place it inside a swimming pool with a floatation device around its waist while sipping on…..
