Calm Whatsoever

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Life is really simple, 
but we insist on 
making it complicated.
              Confucius


The positive energy
and love we give
to others, heals
our own wounds. Angie Karan



Hands joined like leaves
in sunlit air,
No task to chase,
no weight to bear.
Fingers meet,
a gentle nest,
Where worries sleep,
and hopes are blessed.

Green whispers paint
the tranquil scene,
A symphony of wind
and leaves unseen.
Heartbeats slow
to nature's drum,
Composure found,
where shadows come.



Never be in a hurry; 
do everything quietly 
and in a calm spirit. 
Do not lose your inner peace 
for anything whatsoever, 
even if your whole 
world seems upset.
            Saint Francis de Sales




If my world were to
cave in tomorrow, I would look back
on all the pleasures, excitements and
worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough
to have had... It will have been
enough. Audrey Hepburn

This is lovely, Cloudia. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. We are up to our ears in termite aftermath. I haven't been able to get on the computer because of everything we're dealing with. I have a very nice vertigo therapist and she's given me exercises to do. They make me dizzy but it's to help my brain, ears, eyes and whatever become stronger. I hope you're doing OK too.

Glad Friends ❤️❤️

I could sit at that table, with that drink at hand, knowing I could come home and find Pixie waiting for me. Wonderful photos throughout.

It is good to look on our lives and to think they have been enough.

I struggle with all the bad news and it would be more healthy to remain quiet inside..... Never be in a hurry;
do everything quietly
and in a calm spirit.
Do not lose your inner peace
for anything whatsoever,
even if your whole
world seems upset.

Life really IS simple, as Confucius says. I love the balancing act of that drink cup. Thanks so very much for these wonderful photos and quotes you shared with us, as well as the drink cup you shared for T this Tuesday, dear Cloudia.

You always find such great quotes. I want to know why we do make the world more complicated than we need to. I hope you had a great T day, and that your have a great holiday too. Merry Christmas, and hope Pixie is well.
