arises from feeling
where we ought to
think, and thinking

Flow with
whatever is happening
and let your mind be free.
Stay centered by accepting
whatever you are doing.

Good morning Clοudia,
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful first photo!!
Have a nice day!
Gosh... I've been to that beach and didn't realize that it's named for the Duke.
ReplyDeleteWe are the safest city? Really? I guess it surprised me because I watch the news and hear the bad things that are happening. Still... I'm glad to know it's better than I thought.
Thanks for our daily dose of beauty and wisdom.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you again my friends!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words and pictures.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words and photos.
ReplyDeleteLove Pixie and her shadow!
Take care, enjoy your day!
As always a joy to see and read.
ReplyDeleteI was enjoying the peaceful beauties you shared, until the last shot...somewhat disconcerting! Thanks for all the great quotes.
ReplyDelete...keep bragging,
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous beach. And it's interesting only one US city made the list.
ReplyDeleteI love the beach!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the juxtaposition of the brag and the warning against bragging.
Wonderful shots.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and sayings!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous beach to walk on!
ReplyDeleteAre Pixie and the tiki gods the reason Honolulu is so safe? Or is it because the beaches are so beautiful no one has the time or inclination to commit crime?
ReplyDeleteJolly Friends ✨ Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of a heavenly place and beautiful quotes.
ReplyDeleteThe photo of the cat is great, the light is very nice
Greetings from Estepona, Malaga, Spain.
You are so lucky to have a gorgeous beach like that, Cloudia. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIn this social media age many people need to remember the first quote about good deeds and bragging.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colour on the flowers #FloralFridayFoto
ReplyDeleteFantastic sunset! Looks like Pixie shares my thoughts. Love the wood carving all so.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteThe 1st photo is a stunner!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous party today! I am so lucky to have all of you, old friends and some new ones. Join us today. Aloha and thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteI would love to cuddle with Pixie.

ReplyDeleteThanks for taking me to your part of the world.
Wow, I love that view of Waikiki and Diamond Head!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning beach and you get to walk there!! Fabulous.
ReplyDelete"A good deed is not a good deed if you brag about it." Truer words were never spoken.
I don't consider Orlando such a great city to visit. Been there, didn't much care for it.
Have a lovely FFO weekend, dear Cloudia.
I've walked on Duke Kahanamoku Beach too. Perhaps we passed each other sometime when I was in Honolulu. Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteEverything in Hawaii seems to be beautiful including and maybe even especially Pixie ... your thoughts are provocative and go well with the photos. You are blessed to see all this beauty in your every day life ... and to have Pixie by your side. I do hope to visit your beaches one day :)
ReplyDeleteAndrea @ From the Sol
