A L O H A From Honolulu!
You can't control everything.
Sometimes you just need to
relax and have faith that
things will work out.
Let go a little and
just let life happen.
Kody Keplinger
Honolulu Marathon FINISHER! |
With Malice toward none,
with charity for all, with
firmness in the right, as
God gives us to see the right,
let us strive on to finish the
work we are in, to bind up
the nation's wounds.
Abraham Lincoln
Brave birds still
fly through fog.

The comfort of
a gentle breeze,
Warm sunlight filtering
a gentle breeze,
Warm sunlight filtering
through the trees,
The laughter of
a child at play,
These simple things
can light our way.
The laughter of
a child at play,
These simple things
can light our way.
routine pleasures, small kindnesses,
and little moments loom large.
Take the time.

It's beginning to dawn on me
that worry is profoundly ungrateful.
What a waste of all the treasures
around and within us,
of the time we have!
Do not let the times we
live in dictate to us.
Let's go our own bright way
and spread it around as we can.
Hooray for the simple things.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the finisher of the marathon! Pixie looks like she's waiting to enjoy the simple pleasures of scritches behind the ears and tuna treats with catnip...
ReplyDeleteAlways beautiful series of photos. Great quotes
ReplyDelete...is it really hard being green? ☃️ 🎄 ❄️ 🎅🏼
ReplyDeleteAbe would be horrified by what became of his party.
ReplyDeleteI live with a person who likes to have control over things -- in a very nice way though, not a bossy way. It's hard to explain.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could relax and not worry. A post that hit home for me, Cloudia. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSmall things always make a big difference when we take time to notice them.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Cloudia!

ReplyDeleteSuch a refreshing perspective by Kody Keplinger! Embracing the wisdom to acknowledge that we can't control every aspect of our lives is liberating. The reminder to relax, have faith, and trust that things will work out is a powerful mantra for navigating life's uncertainties.
ReplyDeleteLetting go a little and allowing life to unfold can lead to unexpected joys and opportunities. It's a gentle nudge to release the grip on the need for absolute control and find peace in the journey.
Kody Keplinger's words are a timely reminder to cultivate patience, resilience, and a positive mindset. Sometimes, the most beautiful chapters of life are written when we surrender to the natural flow of events.

It's hard to give up control and just go with what life is giving you. Once you stop fighting it, things will start to fall into place. Maybe not immediately, but in time.
