Smiles Are The Soul's Party Dresses

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Hatred,
in the course of time,
kills the unhappy wretch
who delights in nursing it
Giacomo Casanova




We are all like poems.
some of us rhyme.
some don’t.
some are Pulitzer prizes
some are just scribbles
and yet...




...we all possess a special
kind of beauty
Sanober Khan


 Let go of your sorrows,
let go of your worries. That is the secret of walking meditation. Thich Nhat Hanh



A smile remains
the most inexpensive gift

you can bestow on anyone
and yet its powers can
vanquish kingdoms. Og Mandino


What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness? Rousseau

Was kind enough to send me the beautiful antique postcard of her area in today's swap as well as a really cute bunny rabbit notepad! I would send you a photo of the tea bags she kindly sent but I already drank the tea!
Here are the two beautiful items she gifted me:

That glorious moon shot has me smiling very broadly. Thank you.

I love the pictures today. They made my soul party with lots of smiles. Pixie looks like she's getting sleepy from counting the sheep parading beneath her. Do you think coconut milk could be switched into that egg cream drink for those of us who are lactose intolerant? Pixie can have my share of the milk.

Let go all your worries - I say amen to that.

Cloudia said...

I'd try it with coconut milk!
Thanks Friends πŸ’ž

Dear Cloudia,
"Some are Pulitzer prizes
some are just scribbles",
that's a funny phrase! :-DD
Give Pixie my gentle strokes.
All the best and have a good week, Traude

The quote about hatred is one that requires some pondering!

Mahalo for your therapy! I needed those forest birdies, and the little lizard below the funny tree limbs, and the quote about anger due to foolish stuff from others. Please send me a bill for my counseling, and pet Pixie's little pink toe beans. Ha; Hugz, Linda in Kansas

Bill said...

nwilliams6 said...

Lovely post, Cloudia (and Pixie). Wonderful quotes - especially the one about kindness. Now I want to try the egg cream recipe. Happy special T-day. Hugz

Carola Bartz said...

Very beautiful photos and excellent quotes! The cat (yours?) is super cute.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

Love all the quotes and photos today. They are beautiful.

I was watching a show on PBS about the turn of the last century when a reporter bought a child an Egg Cream. The child was confused because the reporter didn't know why the drink was called an Egg Cream where there were no eggs in it. I enjoyed seeing the ingredients that went into it. Thanks for sharing Pixie, your fabulous quotes, your darling photos, and the Egg Cream with us for T this special 10th anniversary T, dear Cloudia.

Cloudia said...

Iris Flavia said...

Yay to smiles, yes, I often give and get smiles - makes any day better!

Great quote about us all being like poems. I love map postcards to show where people are from or visited. Hi, Pixie! Happy 10th T Day Anniversary

Lisca said...

Lovely photos Cloudia! (as always) I had to smile at the Egg Cream recipe (no eggs in it) but I have never seen or had one, so I shouldn't laugh.
The cat is gorgeous. I just want to give him/her a tickle.
Happy belated T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
