A L O H A From Honolulu!
If we want to be happy,
we must learn to treat ourselves
compassionately...
...Not only is this associated with
better mental health but longevity, too.
One 2020 study finding that
self-acceptance decreases mortality
risk by 19 percent.
It's never too late to prioritize
what brings you happiness.

One beating rhythm
strong and true,
The shared experience
me and you.
A field of wildflowers
free and bright,
This starry dance
on a moonlit night.
These fleeting gifts
don't let them fade,
Embrace the beauty, unafraid.
For in the "now,"
the joy resides,
Our motto: "Enjoy it,"
gently guides.

I really liked the post.
It reminds us of the power of responsibility and accountability.
Those that change us individually and our society.
Thank you Claudia!
Show myself compassion!
Lovely - though I find it much easier to show compassion to others than to myself.
Pixie is not old; she's just fluffy. I love the moon shots and the sentiments in all the quotes.
Pixie wants to jump into a pile of teddies.
...Amen, Bryan Thao Worra!
Fantastic quote from Einstein.
I love all the quotes and your poem. Enjoy the "now".
Beautiful captures of the trees, the flower, cute Pixie and the face off.
Take care, have a great day!
Good advice by Einstein and puss.
Loved seeing Pixie on full alert sitting. And the teddybears, turtles, a pig, cow and whatever the bit thing leaning on the right might be! I do prefer the fuzzy animals myself.
Einstein knew! Nice post, Cloudia. ;-)
You live in a lovely part of the world.
Great poem! I keep meaning to... :-)
Thanks Friends!

Worth a Thousand Words
I've been accepting me and all my flaws for as long as I can remember.
Great post.

Amazing clicks, Great captured
I do believe that Pixie is reflecting on your wonderful thoughts for today. And, OMG, I love your face off. Are these all yours? I do think you follow your own advise to enjoy and respect yourself and life. Another awesome post, Claudia ... don't know how you do it :)

I had a doctor, also our close family friend, tell me years ago that you have to be good to yourself. Your post rings true to that advice. Thank you for linking up, Cloudia. You and Pixie have a delightful week ahead!
Your blog radiates positivity and joy of living! Thank you for brightening our day! 😊
