Sweet Apple #2: "The Son of Man" by Rene Magritte

Well, this surely is not a coincidence. I must say this piece of art is the only one that intrigues me the most. I searched for it on the internet and a coworker stopped at my desk and said, "Yeah, so what! He has an apple in front of his face!". That is the initial observation - a big green apple in front of a person's face. How annoying is that! The artist, Rene Magritte did define that the painting represents man's ability to perceive things not as they are. When you actually take the time to look passed the apple you get to see a lot of things and the picture starts to take on more meaning.

Think that about the people you encounter everyday. That is my PSA for today.

Check out facereplaced.blogspot.com it's pretty fun!

Sweet Apple #1: The Song "My Favourite Things"

Yes, I said it. The song "My Favorite Things" is my first Sweet Apple.

Yesterday, I caught a serious case of the Monday's. The job was not making me happy as I felt the time I spend there is not making a difference elsewhere. Constant reminder of the economic climate didn't make it help either, and I have a weird bump on my arm. Maybe the bump is caused from all of this stress, but I must say "My Favourite Things" from "The Sound of Music" really put things into perspective.

There are a lot of things in this world that we can be rightfully pessimistic about. A lot of those things are out of our control, but the song taught me that if I count my blessings not only would I see the silver lining, but I will feel better about my current situation and look towards the future.



Enjoy!
