Free To Delight

A L O H A From Honolulu!

In ordinary life we hardly realize
that we receive a great deal more
than we give, and that it is only
with gratitude that life becomes rich.
Deitrich Bonhoeffer





 Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. Mother Theresa



Birds sing after a storm;
why shouldn't people feel
as free to delight in
whatever sunlight
remains to them?
Rose Kennedy



She has a light inside her
that makes other people look better. Homer Simpson, Of his wife Marge

Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia

Hello Cloudia :=)
Smiling at strangers is something I thought I would try one day, most of the time I got stony stares,indifference,or just peculiar looks. People should share the gift of a smile more often I have never stopped smiling at people and now and again am rewarded with a smile in return.

Wishing you and your family a wonderful Advent.
