Noticing

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Wisdom is not gained
by knowing what is right.
Wisdom is gained by
practicing what is right,
and noticing what happens
when that practice succeeds
and when it fails.
Barbara Brown Taylor



What gets us into trouble
is not what we don't know.
It's what we know for sure
that just ain't so.
 Mark Twain



Taking responsibility for events
that (you will argue)
were not your fault used to be
understood to be the occasional
burden of being an adult.
Miss Manners 



This Great Egret
is NOT a Duck:

Biologists say that
the duck's tail feathers
evolved to cover
it's butt quack.


Even though you're growing up,
you should never stop having fun.
 Nina Dobrev

Love You,
Cloudia & Pixie

In the afternoon,
the beauty of the world
reveals itself in a gentle light,
and we find solace in its embrace.

    Be a cat. Keep having fun. Or at least keep on sleeping and eating.

    I love that first quote about wisdom and the pun about ducks and tail feathers. Pixie is laughing at that one, too. The egret is beautiful; why did it evolve tail feathers, since it doesn't quack?

    Great Cityscapes and flowers. Love the egret sanding in for the pigeon. The second quotation, from Mark Twain, sadly rings so true today.

    LOL! A butt quack! Acting grown up is not easy. Mom is still good at acting like a kid when she can and it makes her happy. She is known as the crazy aunt by her niece and nephew.
