A L O H A From Honolulu!
What is true is already so.
Owning up to it doesn't
make it worse.
Not being open about it
doesn't make it go away.
And because it's true,
it is what is...
People can stand what is true,
for they are already enduring it.

As a pearl is formed
and its layers grow,
a rich iridescence
begins to glow.
The oyster has taken what was
at first an irritation and intrusion
and uses it to enrich its value.
How can you coat or frame the
changes in your life to harvest
beauty, brilliance, and wisdom?
Susan C. Young
In a forest of a
hundred thousand trees,
no two leaves are alike.
And no two journeys along
the same path are alike.

Live your life
while you have it.
Life is a splendid gift.
There is nothing

Florence Nightingale
Both Sides
If people stopped looking
for things that offended them
and started looking for things
that inspired them,
what a wonderful world
this would be.

Somebody got inspired by blue ginger today. Pixie is wondering if it is anything like catnip...
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful photo of Pixie - and the blue ginger looks great too (not as good as Pixie though).
ReplyDeleteYou photographed these flowers beautifully. I can see the textures on the floral petals too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky and lovely flowers!
ReplyDeleteCute capture of Pixie and her reflection.
Take care, have a wonderful new week.
Some great quotes again. The world is such a negative place these days. People need to look for the positives and celebrate the good. It would really change the entire tone of the world but for some reason the media only loves to spread doom and gloom.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work. I like it.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are absolutely beautiful and thank you for the inspiring quotes. Have a wonderful new week, Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and there is two of Pixie today. I like that very much.
