Pull or Push?

and it will follow 
wherever you wish.

    Wise Mokokoma Mokhonoana quote. It seems obvious when you think about it...but how many of us ever do that?

    You gave us nice quotes for today! The Eisenhower one makes a lot of sense, both literally and metaphorically.

    Love the dwarf pineapple, but it seems to be something of a wallflower. I'm dancing through hospitals for the next few days or weeks... my mom had a relapse, a bad one. Thanks for the inspiring posts.

    Ike had right. I'm always amazed to watch people 'push the string'. Crazy. They think they are makin' progress.

    Your first image is quintessential Hawaii.. Love the push/pull quote Claudia, so easy to push when you should pull :)

    I am so tired. We had one set of guests last week and we have another guest coming in from Illinois tomorrow. I can't get anything done... present or future.
