Transparent And Gentle

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Nourish the mind like
you would your body.
The mind cannot survive
on junk food.
Jim Rohn



Happiness is like soap bubbles.
It comes in small fragile doses,
transparent and gentle, that you
can’t catch, or hold forever.
You have to learn to recognize
the moment, to embrace it
and when the bubble pops
and the moment is over,
to choose whether to
remember it or not.
The miserable people are
the ones who think that
happiness is a permanent state.
They waste half of their lives
trying to find it, and the
other half being disappointed
that they can’t, while there
are many little soap bubbles
floating in the air around them,
but they don’t ever see them.
Limor Moyal




The illuminators offer the privilege of witness. They take the anecdotes, rationalizations and episodes we tell and see us in a noble struggle.
David Brooks



Kindness is more than deeds.
It is an attitude, an expression,
a look, a touch. It is anything
that lifts another person.
C. Neil Strait


Celebrate the small things
and our lives become
bigger than ever.
Tim Fargo

Peabea Scribbles said...

You always find the perfect photos to showcase the quotes. How true the bubble one. I like that analogy. Makes me think of all the bubbles that have brought smiles/happiness and have popped over my 70 plus years. It's a head full. lol
