" Only those
within whose own consciousness
the sun rises and sets,
the leaves burgeon and wither,
can be said to be aware
of what living is. "
Joseph Wood Krutch
“It's possible to forget
how alive we really are.
We can become dry and tired,
just existing,
instead of really living.
We need to remind ourselves
of the juice of life,
and make that a habit.
Find those places inside
that jump for joy. . . ”

is like playing a violin solo

I'm trying out "jumping for joy," but the public solo without just a little bit of practice takes more bravery. DrumMajor

Upbeat word today to prepare for a VERY busy weak ahead. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love these quotes and how perfectly they go with the pictures.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness I'm still striving for that juice of life, because there are so many that have given up ship- and that is the worst thing ever to do. Life is meant to be LIVED out loud!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have such good quotes today, Cloudi. I love the one about jumping for joy, and I totally agree with the one about the violin solo!! Great pictures, too! I love the guys jumping.
ReplyDeleteLife is certainly learning from experience. too bad there's not a save system like with video games.
ReplyDeletethe 2nd and 3rd quotes are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteas always..live our lives!

It's amazing how the wrong spelling of a word can hamper the solving of a crossword puzzle..the answer was 'aloha' for some reason I spelled it 'aloah'..you would think I would know better Cloudia :)

ReplyDeleteThinking about 'Izzy', my Pandora Ferron station played Over the Rainbow. I tear up, honestly.
