All Things and Yourself

A L O H A From Honolulu!

She stood there for a moment,
Looking out at the world below.
Felt the wind in her feathers,
And knew she was strong and bold.
The triumphant baby chicken,
Who conquered the world.
       




Have patience with all things
but first with yourself.
Never confuse your mistakes
with your value as a human being...




...You are a perfectly valuable,
creative, worthwhile person simply
because you exist. And
no amount of triumphs or
tribulations can ever change that.
     Frances de Sales



A brilliant jewel
in the black velvet sky.

Describing Earth in a 1998 interview






And if,
when it's all over,
I'm asked what I did
with my life,
I want to be able
to say:
' I offered Love '
Terri St. Cloud



 Preparing Parade Dragon Brought to life by the beating drum, The Parade Dragon comes alive. People cheer, the children clap, As dragon takes to the street. The dragon dances, people
follow close behind. Symbol of good luck, Creature of story and myth, But just for today,
here with us,
Dragon is real in the street!
I hope it brings you joy.



The supreme triumph is
to be most vividly,
most perfectly alive.
  D. H. Lawrence

Yes, BuzzBallz are alcoholic beverages. They are pre-mixed cocktails that are sold in 16 oz plastic containers. Each BuzzBallz contains 15-20% alcohol by volume (ABV), which is equivalent to three beer cans' worth of alcohol. The amount of alcohol in a BuzzBallz drink varies depending on the flavor. .

I mostly just like to the bottle. Mike. But yeah it's an interesting story isn't it. Thanks for coming up with added details. I love you EC. Thank you for coming by.

I don't think I could handle a BuzzBall. I hardly drink any alcohol, especially these day. I just along a carton of wine to my daughter because I wasn't interested in drinking it.

Pixie is ready for a nap.

Good start of the week again. Thanks.

Lobe your moon captures!
I have never heard of the BuzzBall.
Pixie looks like she does not want her nap to be disturbed.
Take care, have a happy day and a great new week!

Very cool post! I love the quotes and the parade dragon. Pixie looks like she's planning to stay in bed and relax today.

Your words always speak to me and they did once again today.

That baby chick is going to make it in the world.

LOVE the BuzzBallz, even if I am not one who drinks alcohol. I just like how the glass jar looks. But I was delighted to read the information Mike gave of the company, too.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

Cloudia said...

So beautiful. My life I want everyone to say I lived each day to the fullest.

Yikes on the alcohol. That's a lot of alcohol per drink.

Cute baby bird and lovely, wise words again. Wow on the moon and I sure would love to try that drink - such a cool form, too. Have a happy T-Day.

nwilliams6 said...

Wonderful pictures and quotes/words. The one about spending your life offering love spoke to me the most - I think it the ultimate answer.

Darling picture of Pixie.

That is scary about the buzz ball. It is so small. I bought one for my daughter as part of a little pick me up gift - I need to warn her about the alcohol level!

Happy T-day. Hugz

J said...

Great quotes as usual, fun looking drinks in a bomb shaped bottle, sound quite lethal!!
Happy T Day Jan S

Ho Cloudia, love the baby chicken and all of the beautiful photos and quotes. Your drink looks good, too, but I mustn't drink alcohol because of my medication. Hapy T Day, have a great week, hugs, Valerie

My name is Erika. said...

Oh that little chick is often how I feel about taking on a tough situation. You just have to stand up and fluff up your feathers, right? I've seen those buzzballs but never tried one. I would be more than buzzed after 1 I think-smile. Fun post Cloudia, and happy T day to you. hugs-Erika

DVArtist said...

That first photo and quote is just perfect and the last one. That drink looks so interesting. Give Pixie a pat for me and have a nice day today.
