I am exhausted. Big day. I walked 22k steps today.
Here are photos of my day out. I took these for painting ideas (497 photos).
They have a Californian garden.

I don't think California. He's in Australia. I think the garden was called a 'California garden'.

Cheers you two.

Thoughts... the sun always comes out from behind the clouds. There'll come a time when you are ready to leave yourself exposed to rejection and failure... only to result in something very rewarding for your life. Everyone on here has experienced personal failure in relationships and failure in establishing them. Of course those failures are not fun and they don't feel very good, but they are necessary.

There's someone for everyone and those someone aren't hard to find if you aren't so damn guarded. I mean... look at Scruffy for example ( @mcgruff10 ). At first glance, he isn't much, but if you give that goofy bugger a chance... he ends up being okay. If he can find a wife... hell... an orangutan can.

I'm sure you got an orangutan beat! You got good taste in music- there's a start to defining your character. You write very well- you're intelligent (this is not an underrated asset). And I'll stop there.

Whenever I am down in the dumps, I do two things. I watch about 15 minutes of  Maury Povich or something dumb like that. This always helps me reset and realize whatever problems I have, there a lot of people with MUCH bigger problems than me. Then I will just go and watch stand up comedy. Nothing dissipates my bad moods better than laughter. I know it sucks when you have to force yourself to find something to be happy about. This too shall pass.

Thank you dude.
I tried to orchestrate each picture how I'd like it to appear in a painting.
It is at the Royal Botanic Gardens in my city of Melbourne, Australia.

Thank you mate. Appreciate the kind words. Much love to you.

I'm feeling better today. New day, new sunshine. Did some boxing day shopping and now watching cricket.

That's good.  It sounds like you survived Christmas, we all did I guess.  Just hang in there.

Thanks dude. I survived indeed. Seeing my best friend tomorrow after a long 3-4 months. Helps catching up with friends which I've been doing this month.

It's been a gut-check month for me.  Don't want to go into details because it involves other people's health, worries, and struggles but it has been a tough few weeks.  Once in a while you just have to sit down, take a few deep breaths, realize who & what are important to you and put your own things aside for a moment to help them through.  Sometimes you don't realize that you're not the only one getting older.

I am sorry to hear this is happening. I hope all will improve for your friends and/or family.
