" Generally,
by the time you are real,
most of your hair
has been loved off,
and your eyes drop out
and you get loose
in the joints
and very shabby.
But these things
don’t matter at all,
because once you are
real
you can’t be ugly,
except to people
who don’t understand."

I want to really
live
IN the moment;
but not live
just FOR
the moment.
How About You,

Living in the moment can be hard for people sometimes.
Lovely pictures. And a fine distinction between living FOR the moment and living IN the moment. All of our days are a collection of moments to be savored.
Love moments, lots of little ones are cool, work gets in the way of my life. Better to have nice, busy work than the alternatives. DrumMajor
nice quotes
Aloha to you, Cloudia! Have a nice weekend!
love the clouds.
Aloha Cloudia, I'm with you on that thought. Marvelous quotes throughout too. I plan on doing just that, again today....!
The clouds are magnificent. My favorite quote is the one you chose in the Velvetten Rabbit. I like the idea of living in not for the moment. That makes a lot of difference. Thanks and happy Weekend.
Great pictures. I love the fins. I also love The Velveteen Rabbit and your other quotes. Thanks for a wonderful morning!
My favorite way of saying this is that I want to feel completely comfortable in my own skin." So far it hasn't really happened.
I once had a snorkel and flippers on a trip to Hawaii.
Actually twice: once to Maui and Kauai (two islands in one week...was too much travel and not enough relaxing, but I loved seeing Kauai. Second time was a week in Maui. Such lovely fish and corals!

Love that Margery Williams quote. And yes, pink puppy (who is now grey) and dirty uncle teddy are obviously very real. Realler than I am some days...
Beautiful shots!
It's been too long since I've read the Velveteen Rabbit.
We all live in the moment but we don't all know it.

The quote from the 'Velveteen Rabbit is one of my all time favorites.
I'm living in the moment right now... But unfortunately, I'm bored.
Love the Velveteen Rabbit quote!
