“My night has become a sunny dawn because of you”
Ibn Abbad

“A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition.”

“Everyone must have felt that a cheerful friend is like a sunny day, which sheds its brightness on all around; and most of us can, as we choose, make of this world either a palace or a prison”
John Lubbock

“Never count your friends on sunny days for they all will be around, count your friends on the rainy days when the clouds are grey and lightning shakes the ground.”
Anonymous

and my favourite one:

“There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October”
Nathaniel Hawthorne

Since trust has been the theme given under the GBE2 posting, I thought it is rather appropiate to use is also for my Monday's special

“To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.”
by George MacDonald

“We're never so vulnerable than when we trust someone - but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy”

“Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.”

“Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.”
by Marie Curie

“Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.”

“I've learned to trust myself, to listen to truth, to not be afraid of it and to not try and hide it.”

Motto:

Be willing to trust your instincts, especially if you cannot find answers elsewhere
by Brian Koslow

A walk in the park with Peter and our dog, Naila. A very strange weather, a mix of summer seconds then autumn wind. Just enjoying the nature and the company, sometimes this brings much more energy than anything else. And then we saw her, the little squirrel munching some nuts, looking for food and jumping all around.

She did trust me at the distance, I could get some shots, then slowly I approached her, tried a different angle, she looked skeptical, but still I got my pictures. Naila stayed at the distance, Peter noticed my interest and hold her. Better views, lesser distance , but the Naila wanted to be close to me. And of course at one point the squirrel lost her confidence and trust and dissapeared in the forest. But for 3 minutes the two of us were at peace, we found a truce, and I could share with you her majestic beauty.
