Blues Beach

ALOHA Means
        "Welcome Friend :)"



Play The Song of the Day!






I love deep greens and blues. . .


 




. . .  But not being deep in the Blues.  







Right now,
there are those who are deeply depressed
in large mansions;
  But have you seen the
Amazing Smiles 
of the "developing world?"

  When you think back on
the wonderful times of your life,
how much did that wonderfulness
have to do with money?

  Often couples look back
on their early days of struggle
as good times.

It took years
to become the person
you are here today.

You carry wisdom & flaws
and you bless this world,
and all those around you,
in a unique way.

So carry on!
In joy and in melancholia.

Many of YOUR posts
have made me understand
  that I have companions
in this world,
just like me,
who understand.

Good People.

So here's to YOU, friend;
Whether in Mumbai, Britain,
Canada, Moscow,
Connecticut, Manhattan, Italy,
Cairo,
Jerusalem,
or Penang!

Aren't We Something!
<>
.
 
To rule something
you must first name it.
What do they call "The Blues"
in your part of the world?

I agree! We were happy with all kind of small events and we organized some nice parties with sometimes more people than we could accomodate in our small livingroom, but we were all happy!
Thank you Cloudia for your comment. Your visits are very welcome.

Please have a wonderful Sunday.

I am generally happy when I am able to work on those things I want to do and which feel important to me. For the most part these days I'm happy, though occassionally very very tired.

Lisa said...

I'm near Penang;)

So true. You put it so perfectly. It is a great reminder, to be happy where ever we are and most importantly to be grateful to The Giver Of Life, The Giver Of Security.

Blogging unites people around the world. :)
Money can't buy happiness... so true!

Beach babes!

Er, I meant to say, my, what thought-provoking words.

But somehow it came out "Beach babes!" ;-)

Wonderful shots. I love this beach.

The best times for me are usually the ones unplanned and without any real budget.

Both over planning and too much money in a weird way can ruin a good time.

Lovely post, as always!
