Oh I love the beautiful blue sky photo.
Cassy from Acoustic Guitar Lessons
Your posts never fail to bring a smile.
The lady in the supermarket made me smile! :)
As always perfect words to match perfect skies

Greetings, Joop
Warm greetings to you.. have a nice week ahead..
Yes - in the end, it's all precious.
Love that first photo of the blue sky! : )
I like the journeys quote Cloudia (and the look of those pecan nuts.)
Hawaii, the land of happy old people. It's the first thing I notice when I come back from the Mainland, the smiles on the faces of the elderly, including the smile on my own face!
Beautiful skies! By the way, I really appreciate your visits.
Every journey is an adventure in the making :-).
And you enjoy yours.
Thank you, you too!

Not sure what he was smoking at the time but that's not quite true in my experience.
I MUST resume reading your posts daily rather than in a bunch. Though I still enjoy them thoroughly I am cheating myself each day of smiles I could be enjoying. Love all of your posts.
Gorgeous post, darling!
Missed you!

always great wisdom and insight from Martin Buber. Lovely post. Lovely supermarket, flower wearing woman. he is a lover of life and serendipity.
Beautiful sky, nuts on the beach and adorable lady in the supermarket, excellent Cloudia!
I enjoyed the quotations and the photos, especially the photo at the bottom.
...or just drive aimlessly until you get to your destination. That's how I roll.
Like your first pix ~ the coconut trees singing in the clouds.
I always come back for a second read/look at your posts Claudia, since they are so visually full and the quotes are so thought provoking and inspiring.
I missed the fullness of this one the first time around.
"In the end, it's all precious!"
And that gloriously wreathed woman. I love her.
Thank you ! Remember, I nicknamed you my "comfort zone" in my blogroll...plus by quoting the gentle "encouragement" of the ethical pedagogue Jean Jacques Rousseau plus ethician Martin Buber just when I had been struggling with an ethical decision myself...just comforted me no end !
Mahalo !
P.S. At first, when I just saw the title "Opposite"...my first thought was, obviously the song "Opposites attract" sung by Paula Abdul !
