Most Precious

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Change your routines, 
change your life. 
Choose your routines, 
choose your life. 
Be alert for subtle 
intimations to do 
something 
differently.

Chinese violet, coromandel or creeping foxglove.

Circumstances 

prove nothing. 




That's why you can't convict 

with circumstantial evidence.












YOU

 prove your circumstances.

The intriguing placidity 
from the slothful pace 
of a snail is 
truly very peaceful. 
Our world is in need of 
this calmness to pacify itself.

Nor does anyone, but 
in my case I am 
always aware of it.

The clouds in that last picture are spectacular. I love the Pixie picture paired with that quote. I also love the message of persevering like plants that grow out of concrete and survive. :)

I often have to do things I don't want to do. I bet Pixie doesn't! ;-)

One small change in my routine, even if I'd rather not do it, is so refreshing afterward. The orchids look like fuschia velvet.
