Meaning And Transform

A L O H A From Honolulu!
True progress quietly
and persistently moves
along without notice.
Francis de Sales




Facts which at first seem
improbable will, even on
scant explanation, drop the
cloak which has hidden them
and stand forth in
naked and simple beauty.
Galileo Galilei




You don't have to swim across a river dodging bullets. You don't have to race in an ambulance to the scene of an emergency. Bless those who do! But bless those too who simply keep the good and the true alive in their hearts.
Where it radiates throughout
their lives and acts.
There are many forms of heroism
and they all have their place.
Cloudia


Age is giving me
the two best gifts:
softness and illumination Anne Lamott


I have always believed, and
I still believe, that whatever good
or bad fortune may come our way
we can always give it meaning and
transform it into something of value. Hermann Hesse

That last picture of leaf with a side of toe is awesome. I like the message of this blog post and the fact that Pixie is calling us to transform all things into something for good, to spread love and light throughout the universe. (Of course, we will do it with fewer fur balls than she does, but we will learn all the same...)

Oh that leaf is amazing. I really like the photo of the tree too. However, as a retired Vet Tech you don't know how I want to shake people who put dogs in storllers. So wrong on so many levels.
As for Pixie, just as cute as ever.

We always try to find some good or a lesson to learn from things that happen to us, especially the not so good things. Great quotes again!

First of all, gorgeous naked tree :) And is that you walking the dogs in a baby buggy? Cute, cute, cute ... Leave it to Pixie to be the wise one. She spreads the truth, if only everyone would listen. Have another Happy and wise week, Claudia ...

Oh the doggies in the carriage....reminds me of when I had my two old pug dogs...I put them in a baby carriage when I walked them around! They had such trouble walking and seeing too! Very cute! ♥
