Jewels

A L O H A !
Not all jewels are mineral gems.




" Treasure your relationships,
not your possessions. "

Anthony J. D'Angelo



Birds are winged treasures.
Here are ebony, alabaster, 
and cinnamon coloured jewels.




" Treasure the love you receive
above all. "

Og Mandino





Sapphire Skies


 "A great poet 
is the most precious jewel 
of a nation.  "


Beethoven






Box fish - a JEWEL-BOX fish!



" If I could be granted a wish,
I'd shine in your eye 
like a jewel.  "
 
Bette Midler






Rose-gold jewel; apple of someone's eye

" Cars, furs, and gems
were not my weaknesses. "


Gene Tierney









Anything to distinguish ourselves from the crowd!




" -the great man is he
who in the midst of the crowd
keeps with perfect sweetness
the independence of solitude ”

 Ralph Waldo Emerson 




Thank YOU for visiting!

    Walking through life with words of Emerson makes every second count...so true it's not the things/objects/or stuff we have in life but more to the point it's the people we have .....
