Doesn't Mean It's Wrong

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Every life transition will feel painful
and confusing. That doesn't mean
it's wrong. It's okay to let go
and not know what will come next.
The other side is never
what your mind thinks it will be.
    Cory Muscara



 Most of all, enjoy every moment
of the journey, and appreciate
where you are at this moment
instead of always focusing on
how far you have to go.
   Mandy Hale




Catharanthus roseus,
commonly known as bright eyes, Cape periwinkle, graveyard plant, Madagascar periwinkle, old maid, pink periwinkle, rose periwinkle, is a perennial species of flowering plant. It is native and endemic to Madagascar, but grown elsewhere as an ornamental and medicinal plant. It is a source of the drugs vincristine and vinblastine, used to treat cancer.

Alpinia zerumbet,
commonly known as shell ginger, is a perennial species of ginger native to East Asia. They can grow up to 8 to 10 ft (2.4 to 3.0 m) tall and bear colorful funnel-shaped flowers. They are grown as ornamentals and their leaves are used in cuisine and traditional medicine. They are also sometimes known as the pink porcelain lily, variegated ginger or butterfly ginger.

One resolution I have made,
and try always to keep,
is this: ‘To rise
above little things’.

Great post with wise words, but Pixie is not sure she's hip with you not knowing where you're going until you get to the other side that's someplace unexpected. She says it's okay as long as you're back in time to feed her and clean out her litter box.

Life is all about changes, some are welcome, some not so much. One has to keep a positive attitude and always look for the good side of things. Everything changes for a reason.

I totally agree, that sunset is so stunning...but so are you sweet Pixie! Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

Good advice to focus on where we are, rather than where and how far we have to go. LOVE the flowers. So unlike any in my garden or area. Bless Pixie today, too.

Dawn said...

Wise words and that sunset is outstanding x

if you ever want to know the prompts for the week, email me to include you in our notices. You don't have to use them but some people are enjoying them. This week is scents and I know your flowers are astounding. My friend moved to Hawaii and sent me flowers several times. Heavenly.
Love you Pixie... I see you in a painting, reclining on your back on a fainting couch, dangling a mouse in your paw

Some fabulous pictures and wisdoms ... though in reference to one of your wisdoms ... I am always thinking about how far I have to go when I go to work out at the gym :( Pixie looks like he is trying to rise above a little thing ... will she do it? Be well Claudia ...
