In With New Beginnings

 A   L   O   H   A  !

You can't live 

a perfect day without 

doing something for someone 

who will never be able 

to repay you.     

John Wooden



















Someday, somewhere 

– anywhere,  unfailingly, 

you'll find yourself, 

and that, and only that, 

can be the happiest or 

bitterest hour of your life.     

Pablo Neruda

























The joy of life comes 

from our encounters 

with new experiences, 

and hence there is 

no greater joy than to have 

an endlessly changing 

horizon, for each day to 

have a new and different sun.

Christopher McCandless



















Yesterday is not 

ours to recover, but 

tomorrow is ours 

to win or lose.

Lyndon B. Johnson



















May you live everyday 

of your life.

Jonathan Swift

Love that final quote. I realised that I could have a life or I could have an existence. Life costs more, hurts more and is worth more too.
Happy New Year to you and Pixie (and to your invisible partner too).

Cloudia said...

You said a deep truth that resonates with me for sure! I made the same decision EARLY, Pal.
Best wishes for the year ahead.

Every experience is new to some degree.
HNY!

These are such beautiful photos and quotes, Cloudia. Wishing you a wonderful, healthy and happy new year. I'm already seeing a LOT of fireworks around the city and it's only 10:00.

Happy New Year!! In with new beginnings... I love the picture of Pixie ringing in the New Year with her usual calm Zen meditation practice. Awesome posts with inspiring quotes. We need to find ourselves in the midst of chaos and keep on living.
