Clowns They Say

A L O H A From Honolulu!

When you rise in the morning,
give thanks for the light, for
your life, for your strength.
Chief Tecumseh


Each morning
when I open my eyes
I say to myself:
I, not events, have the power
to make me happy
or unhappy today.
Groucho Marx


The child was born in autumn,
Of wind and sun, and rain;
Brought forth in
storm and darkness,
Yet of a gentle strain.




Clowns they say are sad.
 yet making the world laugh,
giving their mirth away,
being silly on our behalf.




Dumpster Darlings
Look closer Beyond the surface And you will see a world Full of beauty. A painting around the back Is a throwaway gift Reminder that art Can be found in the
most unexpected places.



It's the simple things
in your life that make
up the bulk of it.
The mundane is where we live,
and we end up missing most of it.
We find it again in the silence
and in the attention
of everyday life.
Eric Overby

The Aussiedoodle is a cross between

an Australian Shepherd and a Poodle. They are also known as Aussiepoos. Intelligent, friendly, affectionate,
also loyal and loving.

Clowns make me sad for them.
And yes, there is always beauty in this world. For which I am very, very grateful.

The simple things that make my life delightful include some cats/kittens too. May I welcome you to that simple world for a moment?

Love the quotes and the shots to go with them.
Such a cute dog. I would have guessed Portuguese Water Dog. There are so many nice crosses with poodles.
