How Beautiful

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Having your head in the clouds,
even for just a few minutes each day,
is good for your mind,
good for your body,
and good for your soul.
Gavin Pretor-Pinney






It felt my heart might just burst.
Bursting is different than breaking.
Like there is no way to
contain how beautiful.
Peter Heller



Plumeria rubra, also known as
red frangipani or nosegay

Our bodies are our gardens,
Our wills are our gardeners.
Shakespeare





Our job is to love others
without stopping to inquire
whether or not they are worthy.
Thomas Merton




Today well lived
makes every yesterday
a dream of happiness,
and every tomorrow
a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore,
to this day.
Indian Proverb

As always, I love the quotes. And of course, your photos are amazing. I have never seen a single serve booze container like that before, full OR empty. Thanks for sharing your amazing photos and quotes, along with the empty drink cup, with us for T this Tuesday, dear Cloudia.

I too loved the Thomas Merton quote. And the photo of Pixie of course.
That frangipan flower is gorgeous and I have no idea what the red thing is. What is a booze?
