The Good Remains

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Don't let the crazy
dim your light.
That alone is
a radical act.
Pause, reflect, and
what is right will appear.




Sharing makes you
bigger than you are.
The more you pour out
the more life will be
able to pour in.
Jim Rohn




Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea is
a water lily that grows in freshwater
lakes, pools, and rivers. It's also
known as the blue lotus,
blue Egyptian lotus,
blue water lily, and
sacred blue lily.




Every friend is to the other
a sun, and a sunflower also.
  Jean Paul Richter. 




If you pursue evil with pleasure,
the pleasure passes away
and the evil remains;
If you pursue good with labor,
the labor passes away
but the good remains.
Cicero



I hope I never get tired of
the night sky, of thunderstorms,
of watching cream make
galaxies in my coffee.
I hope I never grow to be
someone who can no longer
see the small beautiful things.




Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia

Thanks for sharing all the good and beautiful small things. I love the quote about pouring out so life and pour in. I also love the blue lotus and Pixie, the blissfully beautiful small thing in all of our hearts.

Not really a cat person, since I have birds, but.....who could resiste loving that kitty sleeping in the chair, with her little belly right there waiting for scritches. xo
