The Trick

A L O H A From Honolulu!

San Francisco Bay Area, Marin
We are cups, constantly and
quietly being filled. The trick is,
knowing how to tip ourselves
over and let the
beautiful stuff out.
Ray Bradbury





Sometimes the nicest thing
you can do for another is to
give them space with a smile.





Girls Unnoticed in Tree
Our bravest and best lessons
are not learned through success
but through misadventure.
Amos Bronson Alcott




You will miss out on 100%
of the drum solos
you don't play!
  Petar Janjic

 You can't get mad 
at weather because 
weather's not about you. 
Apply that lesson 
to most other 
aspects of life. 
     Douglas Coupland

  1. We do indeed miss out on all the things we don't do - or try.

  2. I love the picture of the dryad that no one sees because they are buried too deeply in their phones. Pixie looks like she's saying that since she doesn't have a phone, she's been there and done that because she doesn't let the opportunities slip by... Great quotes today.

  3. It looks like the blonde on the bench is giving them the hang loose sign.

  13. Your quotes are always interesting and to ponder on later. You are starting out with wonderful images. Pixie is getting ready to let go and accept the new things in her life in 2024 by cleaning her paws. Happy New Year.
