If We Opened to Enjoyment

A L O H A From Honolulu!


If we opened our minds
to enjoyment, we might find
tranquil pleasures spread
about us on every side.
We might live with the angels
that visit us on every sunbeam,
and sit with the fairies
who wait on every flower.
Samuel Smiles




Golden Trumpet Tree
Handroanthus chrysotrichus
semi-evergreen, semi-deciduous tree native
to the coastal forests of southern Brazil
and northern Argentina; also known as
Tabebuia chrysotricha





No borders,
just horizons – only freedom.
Amelia Earhart
First Solo Flight: Hawaii to California 1935





Your mind is a ship; it can sail
across the universe as long as
you don't allow negative
thoughts to sink it.
Matshona Dhliwayo

The way you dress is
how you greet the sun
and other stars.
 Kamand Kojouri




 If having a soul 
means being able
 to feel love and loyalty
 and gratitude, 
then animals are better off 
than a lot of humans.
   James Herriot

James Herriot was right.

Opening my mind to Comfort Spiral always brings me loads of enjoyment. It looks like Pixie is trying to read the calligraphy of that wall art, or maybe she's trying to figure out how it became a flying penguin when it also looks like the Jade Rabbit climbing back up to the moon...

Thank you for this. It is working for me now

I thought the flower from the Golden Trumpet Tree was a balloon.

All these sayings are so wonderful. I have a few spots in the garden at the base of the very old large mother trees where there are little holes small creatures have dug over the years and I think use under the snow in winter. I always think they would be perfect fairy homes. LOL

If you always see horizons you never reach your goal.
