Better Stories Needed

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A life without stories
would be no life at all.
And stories bound us
did they not: one to another,
the living to the dead,
people to animals,
people to the land.
Alexander McCall Smith



Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. - every day begin the task anew. Francis de Sales




I always try to look at things
As if I was remembering them
three years later.
   Alfred Hitchcock



We are what we love. Erik Erikson *

* Erikson's best-known work is his theory that each stage of life is associated with a specific psychological struggle, a struggle that contributes to a major aspect of personality.

If I love Pixie, does that mean I am an overgrown nearly furless cat?

We all need stories. To hear them and tell them.

Pixie just prove that the saying "you are what you eat" can't be true...because she's totally beautiful feline! Not a fish to be shown in that wonderful fur! Have a great week but first have the best of this moment!

Aloha Clouida, I adore Alfred's quote, and the capture you have with it is stunning and very cool. Enjoy your rainbows we should have one with all this rain today but I'm sure it will be grey all day yet and rain into the evening they say. Oh well everything is thirsty around here so let it rain! Take care hugs to you and Pixie too!

Auntie Irene is 95, dances and had 8 children? That is totally amazing! What an awesome woman and so full of positive energy.

That is a great rainbow photo over the city, well done. You also found a powerful mural that makes the building it is painted on almost disappear. Have a great week.

That's one gorgeous mural with a lot of detail in it. Thank you for the share. Be well! PS. Will have to check out Erikson
