Fishy Perspectives and Mood Candles: Jess's Musings

I have a fish, his name is Mr. Fish, and he lives in a tank in the middle of my house. Mr. Fish is eleven years old, and he can communicate with me. For instance, if something is off in his tank, he swims as hard as he can and smashes into the glass. It scares the wits out of me, and I check to make sure he's okay. Message received. 

Sometimes it's super nice to shift into low gear and take in the scene. I think of Mr. Fish, and what his daily life must be like. How strange it would be to experience things from his point of view. 🐟

Contemplating perspectives is interesting, and when you relax into the moment and let your mind wander it's easy to get swept up in imagination. Magic lives in details; you must slow down for the experience. 

So feel into your mood and flow with the good vibrations resonating right now. Take a pause to reflect and dream. 

I'll light a mood candle to raise spirits.🕯✨

  1. The candles are neat.

    I have a fish just like that. His name is Costi (short for plecostomus) and he's over 8 years old and 9 inches long.

  11. I wonder why Mr Fish swims fast and smashes into the glass...my fishes don't do that. Sometimes I watch how graceful they look, swimming there.

  12. I absolutely love the mood candle art! Looks like mosaic art. And you've had Mr. Fish for 11 years? Impressive. I didn't know you had a fish as a pet.

  14. My goodness! George, one of the many goldfish I had as a child, would do this very thing to alert me to the fact it was feeding time. Loving seeing your candles on FB and now here. You really must give a thought to selling them as I'm sure they'd go down a storm even if, alas, the p&p would probably prove to expensive to have them shipped to the UK.

    1. Felicity- I am glad to hear of another fish with these same antics. Thanks for your kind words about my candles. I am considering selling them. They bring me a lot of joy and I am happy to hear you think others would enjoy them too! It would be great if shipping wasn't too pricey. :)
