A L O H A From Honolulu!
You live longer once
you realize that any time
spent being unhappy
is wasted.
Ruth E. Renkl
She dwells in an inch,
luxuriant lady of light.
Her boat, a bloom,
on the afternoon stream,
Model of repose, her tranquil dream.
Desk doggy finds solace
In his quiet solitude.
Soulful eyes investigate
Beseeching - never rude.
Resolve to be tender with
the young, compassionate
with the aged, sympathetic
with the striving, and
tolerant of the weak
and the wrong.
Sometime in life you will
have been all of these.
Lloyd Shearer

Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia
Joy is the simplest
form of gratitude.

The Lloyd Shearer quote is right on the money.
Thanks my poetic friend. Aloha
"any time spent being unhappy is wasted."
But it seems longer.
Pixie looks like she's on a mission. Is she going to give "Desk Doggie" solace? Or is she on the prowl for tuna treats?
Miss Pixie has a sturdy, straight tail! She's on a mission! Linda in Kansas
...what a sky!
Have a joyful day.
You start and end with 2 beautiful photo's indeed.
Oh, desk doggy! He's not trapped, is he?
A sweet doggie!
That Shearer quote is great, Cloudia. Like the desk doggy too. ;-)
Desk doggy! That is so cute.
Love the dog's imploring face!
Blessings, Cloudia!
Love the dog and his expreesion.
Have a wonderful day, Cloudia.
Hi! Loved the words and the photos. Have a wonderful week!
Beautiful twilight scenes!
The first and last quotes really resonate with me. Have a terrific weekend, Cloudia.
Beautiful sky.
Looks like nice kitty cat and puppy dog.
Coffee is on
Wonderful photos and quotations/poetry, as always! Aloha!
As soon as I can sit up without pain I will be back. Thank you for joining FFO and have a nice weekend.
Beautiful photographs, especially the last. As I get older and older, the more I realize that being happy is kind of decision rather than a state of being. There is no shortage of things to be upset about.
What a gorgeous sky in your first photo. Nice capture in your photo.I hope you're having a wonderful weekend. Pixie too. hugs-Erika
