Friday Fill-ins 2

1. If we had no winter, we wouldn't see the magic of spring.

2. An English castle... drab, abandoned and eerie but adorned by Nature's flowers in very distinct colors is to me a perpetual astonishment.

3. If I had my life to live over, I would dwell more on the cheery side.

4. Tuck action plans for priorities inside of four and twenty hours.

5. If you've never been thrilled by anything, you're missing something somewhere somehow.

6. To be interested in the changing seasons try witnessing them in other countries.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to chatting with D, tomorrow my plans include Japanese brunch to precede Angels and Demons, on Sunday, I want to get ready for my son's birthday party next week!

I don't mean to be boring but I have to be wary of this thing. When I searched for photos I did type copyright free photos of .... (I claim no ownership of these images.

Whisper your wishes

Cross-cultural misunderstandings are rife among gestures of beckonings and farewells in different parts of our planet. For example, the American gesture for "come here" could mean "good-bye" to Italians. Axtell (1998) observes, "the way people beckon one another around the world can be almost as diverse as the way we greet and bid farewell to one another." Today we look into popular hand gestures to signal farewells and to beckon. 1.
