A L O H A From Honolulu!
Joy is both a
gift and a practice,
but it isn’t primarily a
feeling any more than
self-control or faithfulness
are feelings. It is
a muscle we can
strengthen with exercise.
Tish Harrison Warren
Beauty lies where
pain has left its print
a symbol of the
struggle to liberate
oneself.

Injustice is real common
but it is not the
end of the story.
Heartbreak is real but
it gives way to redemption
suffering is real but
it cannot erase beauty.
Tish Harrison Warren
If you fly high enough
you can see the
curvature of the Earth.
If you live long enough
you can see the
curvature of history.
Joy is not "toxic positivity"
It does not insist that
we pretend things are
better than they are.
It does not refuse to
face grief or sorrow.
But it does say that
they're not all there is
and that they are not all
that needs to be faced.

Thanks for giving our joy muscles a workout today. Love the shadow shot of the walking photographer of Waikiki!
Hmmmmm. The other day you said you didn't click on links. And yet you have links to click on. I think we need to hear the thought process behind that. It should be interesting. 😁
Love the idea of joy being a muscle...
Hello Cloudia,
Wonderful images. I love the hummingbird, your shadow shot and sweet Pixie.
Take care, enjoy your day!
That beach calls to me.
Joy workouts will become a trend!
Aloha Cloudia, I love it I posted a photo of my shadow today too, it's so cool how we can be so many miles and moons away and still be alike. Lovely quotes that almost distracted me from your lovely views here.
Love all the quotes and love seeing beautiful Pixie.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. Scritches to Pixie. ♥
That honeyeater (?) is gorgeous! #WildbirdWednesday
...I'm old enough to remember 15 cent hamburgers!
Your first photo reminds me that I'll be seeing the hummingbirds hunting some food soon. Usually first parts of May.
I like the quotes from Tish Harrison Warren. I was surprised to see that she is an Anglican priest.
