Light-Hearted

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Society cannot share a
common communication system
so long as it is split
into warring factions.
Bertolt Brecht


Red Lobster Claw Heliconia Rostrata
Differences in the ability
to perceive are a
result of differences
in character.
  Swedenborg




Old minds are like old horses;
you must exercise them
if you wish to keep them
in working order.
John Adams
2nd USA President,
March 4, 1797, to March 3, 1801
VICE PRESIDENT: Thomas Jefferson.
POLITICAL PARTY: Federalist.
Died: July 4, 1826, Quincy, Massachusetts USA



Take this moment seriously.
Meet where it leads
lightheartedly.

T Tuesday

Pictorial Tuesday 



Our political debates in
America are often dark.
 Our culture often seems rotten. 
 Much of that is illusory. 
The reality is that there is
good all around us.

Steve Schmidt is right, but I would like to see a lot less darkness. And cruelty. And intolerance.

Cloudia said...

Amen

"Take this moment seriously."

This jumped out at me.
Wise words.

Bless you, Cloudia.

What a cute doggie, but not as cute as Pixie.

Cute shots of the doggie and Pixie.
The flower is lovely.
Take care, enjoy your day and have a happy new week!

Teresa said...

That dog definitely looks light-hearted, but Pixie thinks he is working too hard at it. She is in total "Zen" mode.

Mike said...

Steve Schmidt is an interesting guy.

I love Pixie, but that pup is cute, too!

Sandee said...

Especially love the quotes today.

Hubby were thinking about a two week vacation in Kauai, but the cost for what we want is so high. Staying local.

I love seeing Pixie. Such a beautiful cat.

Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.

Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week, Cloudia. Scritches to Pixie. ♥

Interesting quotes. Brecht has come up for me a few times this week, including in a fiction book where an actress plays Mother Courage.

The dog is sooooo cute. Agreed, human race is filled with frictions and fractions.

Michelle said...

That dog is a cutie. Sending kisses to Pixie :)

Love the lobster claw plant! Never heard of it. Great uplifting quotes. Happy T Day. Happy 4th.

DVArtist said...

Happy 4th. That dog is just too cut but Pixie is adorable. Have a nice day today.

Hopefully the good can outweigh the bad on our political debates - especially as this next election gets closer. John was a smart man. Love Pixie as always. Happy t-day and hugz

Bertolt Brecht really knows what he is talking about. SO true. Adams was right, too. Exercise the mind as well as the body. As always, Pixie is adorable.

I love that photo of the child hiding behind the Hawaiian nectar and the stuffed animal. That is truly adorable. Thanks for sharing your sage advice and photos, as well as your drink share with us for T this Tuesday, dear Cloudia.

Bertolt Brecht speaks the truth. Pixie looks like she's heading for a nap. Oh, wait. That's me. Happy T Day
