Bless you, Rod, sending all positive energy your way. :)

Beautiful scene

a well lite area that does have a peaceful easy feeling.sorry about those horrible issues. i had them myself a few years back, they shot my credit all to sh$t. dito on BellaDarks thoughts my friend.

Getting scammed by some contractor? Happened to me once, then a year later that man was in prison by some mysterious stroke of fate ... and I smiled.

And I'm no longer stressed now because my food, fuel and rent prices have totally stabilized, instead of doubling :-)

Lovely relaxing image you made :-)

You definitely found a beautiful, peaceful garden here! Gorgeous place and beautiful morph, my friend. Tranquility now. LOL.

The other day this guy was telling me he was driving to work. The hood pops up out of nowhere and smashes his windshield. Stops, gets out, deals with that. Gets back in and the linkage pops when he tries to drive away. LOL. Usually it stays in park, but his was drifting and he had to sit there for I don't know how long until some girl stopped and put a log under his tire. Jeesh! It's like one crap storm after the next. Wishes for better fortunes for you soon!

Take it one day at a time, and remind yourself daily "This too shall pass" Believe me, the hilltops look better BECAUSE of the valleys.
For me that time was 40 years ago, I found some relaxing music (Moody Blues if you must know) that would help me find that place in the back of my mind and go there as often as I could. You are in my prayers to find that place.

This is lovely work! I'm sorry to hear that things seem to be piling on. I'll keep you in prayer, my friend.

Well I hope you get some peace soon! You're very creative when the world allows you the time, so I hope you find it soon.

The garden may be peaceful but she's gonna stir up a lot of excitement!!! Great scene work, my friend . . . . . . sorry for your woes!!!!

This is a nice place for sure. I can relate somewhat, we paid a contractor half money upfront for roofing only for him to take off with it. So yeah but they will get there's for sure. God has a way of dishing out poetic justice, whether we see it or not.

Very peaceful picture. Great work! Wish you all you need to leave that nasty stuff behind that's happening!

Beautiful, peaceful scene! Hope you are able to find some peace for yourself, soon.

With all that is going on, I feel pretty much the same way. I'm trying to stay hopeful, but it is an uphill battle.

Anyway, this is a fantastic piece. Well done.

lovely serene image!! My best to you!

That day when the stars align for you, will soon arrive and then good luck and great fortune will your life Rod! Never loose hope that tomorrow will be a better day. It's early in the year my friend and I sincerely hope that soon you can put what ever is causing you discomfort in the rear view mirror of life!

don't you wish you could dispatch the whole team of the TNA girls to settle this matter for you once and for all...have them pack as much ammo as necessary and take no prisoners. OK I may be a bit too dark in that advise so please excuse me for that my friend...I am in that type of mood at the moment. :-)

Oh, the TNA ladies are on a VERY special mission... As you shall soon see..... (semi-evil cackle goes here..)

We've all been at that point before at one point. Stay well.

ein sehr schöner Render

(btw, I commented on a few older images, going back to October, so put on your snow shoes and go trekking back there. I don't remember which ones, right now---but you can tell if I've commented in seconds: If there's a comment that takes 20 minutes to scroll, that's me...) (and btw: going back to your older images? you gotta sweep a little, back there: I found 3 mice, an old copy of Mad Magazine, a beta max player, 2 old relatives who haven't eaten in 60 years, and one image that got so tired of sitting there, it left a note and moved to Boca...)

I'm really sorry for all these intrusions in your life. I really am. I say it a lot, but I mean it. You solve one problem and another takes its place. I understand---it's like problems are lined up around the block: Get rid of one, the next problem steps to the front. And, to top it off, they expect you to buy them food, water, shelter and reading materials. I'm sorry. As everyone I know has said: "Retirement's wayyyyy over-rated." (Or just: "Retirement? When does it start?")

I assume this is a photo...if it's Poser, it's beautiful regardless. I love this. I've always loved sedate night scenes. Love that light. And that little enclave---a leanto? a portico? It's just perfect: open, but it's secluded. And that woman in there (in dark crimsons and slinky gown) is mysterious, making us wonder what role she plays in this tale? a lost lover? someone with a heavy message from someone long ago? We get just enough of a glimpse that she practically becomes the image...but you leave the rest to the portico and quiet nature. A beautiful suggestive piece. Noir-ish and mysterious. I truly hope you can rest soon and be free of these intrusions; and I hope you can do the work you want to, and soon. May you find strength and peace soon. You deserve it.

OMG, Mark..... Your first paragraph already has me cracking up! 🤣 An old copy of Mad Magazine.... LOL! And you assumed this was a photo? OMG! Nope it's all Poser, and a wee bit o' Photoshop just for fun. That's gonna have me smiling all week-end! Thanks, buddy! 😁

I'm sorry to hear that you're having troubles again, bad luck is hitting you hard.I hope you can recover from all this as soon as possible.Great work on this new image of yours, take care Rods 👍🙋

It troubles me greatly when people who I consider friends, have challenges to deal with when at that time of life they should be resting and chillaxing. Here's hoping your lot will improve very soon Rod! Happy New Year!

Hey, Steve! Thanks so much, mate! Yeah, I thought retirement was going to be relaxing and stress free. That's what I get for thinking! 😂 Gotta stop that! I really need to stop whining.. We all face challenges - it's part of life.

Hope things settle down for you. Hang in there. Fantastic scene, love it.

The magic of this should melt even your heart, you just need to watch it full screen and all the stress should instantly vanish. Outstanding glamorous awesome, Magnificent Masterpiece of Finest Arts. I love it!😊💝🥰

Excellent
