Be The Reason

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Happiness is not
a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling. Margaret Lee Runbeck



Be the reason someone smiles.
Be the reason someone feels
loved and believes in the
goodness in people. Roy T. Bennett

What we call despair is
often the painful eagerness
of unfed hope.
George Eliot


Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon Winnie the Pooh



Just be yourself and
you'll never have a problem.
That's what I did. Willie Mays

I am a fan of balloons - whatever their size.

I loved being prompted to be myself!!
The man in the photo looks like he's really desperate,
but appearances are often deceiving!
Have a beautiful day Clοudia!

Cloudia said...

Me too!

A fantastic view from the window, and Pixie doesn't take any notice!

You and Pixie are one reason that I smile most days! I like the quote about despair and hope. I also like Pixie sitting up high in the air without a balloon. That shot made me smile.

Willie May's quote says it all. Beautiful rainbow!
