Happy Easter x

I'm feeling like my mind is about to explode with things that I need to do at the moment, so why not forget about it all and write in my blog?

What a wonderful weekend it has been, mine started a bit shaky as I really wanted to go away but I'm glad we stayed home, as we have spent lots of time with our families. Yesterday was an easter egg hunt at Grandma's...





Saturday we went out and Friday everyone seemed to turn up here which was just what the doctor ordered...





The youtube clip of the day is a slideshow I made in April 2008 with a few of my photos of Wanganui, I also made the loop of music to go with it :)

The card for the day is YES


From Wiki....Ganesha (Sanskrit: गणेश; IAST: Gaṇeśa; About this sound listen (help·info)), also spelled Ganesa or Ganesh, also known as Ganapati (Sanskrit:गणपति; IAST: gaṇapati), Vinayaka (Sanskrit: विनायक; IAST: Vināyaka), and Pillaiyar (Tamil: பிள்ளையார்), is one of the deities best-known and most widely worshipped in the Hindu pantheon.[5] His image is found throughout India and Nepal.[6] Hindu sects worship him regardless of affiliations.[7] Devotion to Ganesha is widely diffused and extends to Jains, Buddhists, and beyond India.[8]
Although he is known by many other attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him easy to identify.[9] Ganesha is widely revered as the Remover of Obstacles[10] and more generally as Lord of Beginnings and Lord of Obstacles (Vighnesha (Sanskrit: विघ्नेश; IAST:Vighneśa), Vighneshvara (Sanskrit: विघ्नेश्वर; IAST: Vighneśvara),[11] patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom.[12] He is honoured at the beginning of rituals and ceremonies and invoked as Patron of Letters during writing sessions.[13]Several texts relate mythological anecdotes associated with his birth and exploits and explain his distinct iconography.
