Joy We Take

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Life is not a pleasure cruise.
We often sail on stormy seas.
But that's the glory of it,
gaining our sea legs and
staying the course.




There are moments
of great beauty,
days, sometimes longer.
Growing confidence
in our sea skills
takes satisfaction from
even the stormiest days.
Nothing but smooth sailing
would kill our spirit.







The joy we take in growing
makes the sunny days
more beautiful and
the storms bearable.




Let's sail on together
in our vast flotilla.
Angels like seabirds
swarm above us
and know the way
to safe harbor.
Let's follow them.



Turn your face to the sun and
the shadows fall behind you. Maori Proverb

Love You,
Cloudia & Pixie

  3. I want to go sailing under that gorgeous orange sky. It looks like Pixie is getting ready to pounce on one of the sea birds above our flotilla. Maybe she's hungry for lunch???

  12. I think all the photos are amazing. The city with the mountains in the background, the fireworks, and the lovely flower. But the palm trees are what really caught my attention today, along with Pixie, of course. Simply great that you also showed the guy with Guinness, which is a beer I will actually drink for your drink reference at T Tuesday, Cloudia.
