" Never be so focused
on what you're
looking for
that you overlook
the thing
you actually find. "
Ann Patchett
" Things are not always
what they seem;
the first appearance
deceives many;
the intelligence of
a few perceives
what has been
carefully hidden. "
Phaedrus
" How little do they see
what really is,
who frame their
hasty judgment
upon that
which seems. "
Daniel Webster
" What we call the
secret of happiness
is no more a secret
than our
willingness to
choose life. "

Beautiful sky images.
Aloha Friday! Lovely quotes flow together like gathering waves to greet us!
Choose happiness every day.
I like all your quotes today (as I usually do) but I especially like the first one. GREAT advice!
Today you gave us food for thought and a feast for the eyes. But that's usually the case. Cloudia, you take the long view and definitely have your act together.
pretty clouds! Happy sky watch friday to you.
First quote is spot on Cloudia.
P.s. Did I mention that your header shot always makes me feel 'at home' :)
a lovely day to you, cloudia.
You outdid yourself on the quotes today. They were all quite helpful to me.
You are my jolly friends who make my DAY! <3
Thanks!
Especially like that first quote...!
That one pic looks like Pac Man in the sky
Beautiful shots, and that Daniel Webster quote certainly speaks to me.
Life? Or an existence? Not a hard decision.
We must keep our eyes and minds open, Cloudia!
I'll agree with A. Patchett.. Too much tunnel-vision can fog your quest and make you miss some of the side trips.
Great quotes and lovely shots.:-)
Sometimes what we find is exactly what we need, only we didn't know at first.
Ah yes, I leave a little wiser thank to you my friend :)
Awesome pics and quotes! Very thought provoking.

Totally agrees with "Things are not always what they seem"...especially when online like FB and etc. A photo or article may "show" something but we don;t know the real story behind it.
Eg. last month, there was a photo of a cat being strung up on a pole in front of a house. Netizens started condemning the house owner. Later it was discovered that the house owner was threathen by gangsters and the dead cat is a warning. House owner did not take the dead cat down coz he was waiting for the police to come to do the necessary .
Anyway...happy weekend Cloudia
Like a fluffy UFO, and great quotes!
Enjoyed these comments. thanks
pratchett is very wise, so much we miss in the now for the future, or because it is different than we hoped...
have a great weekend
aloha from va
