ALOHA!!!!

I learned that some of the jargon from the bible is still being used by some of the same authors who somehow have internet access.

They still won't admit to some of the typos, misunderstandings due to homonyms, and other mistakes.

They are still fighting about it and they still write hypercritical critique based only on past disagreements and if I had to say one way or the other, out of roughly two dozen (+-2) eleven of them cannot handle the truth, at least not without getting all passive aggressive to the point they seem to morph from being Holy and turn more into holes of the subset labeled A

and as a whole, the 24-28 of them fully accept it all as acceptable behavior (which for angels just seems that something is a little off)

Nice to see YOU - thanks :-)

When you least expect, you'll have the roughest or the greatest time of your life.

Bob Bushell said...

The fitting of the photo and each sayings is so beautiful.

FilipBlog said...

I am not going to follow your advice. If I am angry I should try to keep my mouth shut.

Greetings,
Filip

Love the Ambrose Bierce quote and Miss Kitty with her souvenir paddle. The fun of an enigma is in the solving; once solved, game over, so why work so hard at it??? It's the journey...

Windsmoke. said...

Life is a puzzle everyday. The quote by Ambrose Bierce is spot on and the cherokee proverb :-).

Anonymous said...

..., that in the end everything fits perfectly. If only one would keep that it mind before.

Please have a good Sunday you all.

Cloudia said...

thanks for the cool comments that please me very much :-)

Brian Miller said...

walk softly, leave little touches and talking to strangers is not always bad...smiles.

Erika said...

I always like your sayings. They are very real.
Have a nice Sunday, dear friend Cloudia!
Ciao from Italy.

Elephant's Child said...

Both the Ambrose Bierce quote and the kitty made me smile. I have learned that a smile can move mountains and to go quietly away when I am angry.

Fireblossom said...

LOL @ "ROW"

Sally said...

Smile...and say "hello."

It's hard to resist!

21 Wits said...

You touched on some important things....as always...I'm working as a matter of fact on that puzzle of life too....really, really hard! Enjoy your evening !

magiceye said...

stop worrying when you are down and out and just visit the feel good blogs like comfort spiral for calming your mind!

aloha!!

SandyCarlson said...

I like this word very, very much. I love puzzles, too. It dawned on me today, as I didn't let my daughter put hers in a tag sale, that matryoshka dolls are puzzles that take us back to our own beginnings. Or some place.

Thanks for yet another beautiful post!

carmilevy said...

Gmar chatima tovah, my friend. I thought of you while I was in shul this morning, wondering how your new year had begun, and what good things awaited us all.

Only health and happiness in 5772, k?

PerthDailyPhoto said...

Hmmm I rather like the idea of being an 'enigmatologist' Cloudia, sounds impressive haha! Kitty is adorable, love the way she's (he?) looking at you!Totally agree with the Cherokee saying and add to that..treat people like you would like to be treated yourself' and all will be well. Have a fab Sunday!!

Charles Gramlich said...

that point about "yesterday" was well taken.

Marguerite said...

Great quotes and pics! "Don't ask me no questions and I won't tell you no lies". :)

Oh--the Clues--- They are all around in Nature and people and we just need to stop and look for them--(esp as they apply in the Bible!)

I simply LOVE this kind of blog. I have never come across ENIGMATOLOGY before so that's something I've learned in a very pleasant way. Cheers!

Birdman said...

" Speak when you are angry
and you will make the best speech
you will ever regret. "

Ambrose Bierce
Great words to remember!

Dave King said...

Strange thing, but while I agree with Bierce's pronouncement, write instead of speaking, and you just might write your best book ever.

sealaura said...

my fave is " Don’t let yesterday
use up too much of today. "

I think I might have done that on Saturday. came here for some wisdom. mission accomplished!

Choppography said...

That first saying is VERY true. And, it's therapuetic to release that anger in a good motivational speech.

Beautiful, I like the colors and details of those beautiful beaches. Greetings from La Mancha.

Myrna R. said...

Life is definitely an enigma. I'm still trying to solve the puzzle. I guess the process is as important as the solution.
