A L O H A From Honolulu!
Hoping to live days
of greater happiness,
I forget that days of
less happiness are passing by.
Elizabeth Bishop
The seasons of my heart
change like the seasons
of the fields.
There are seasons
of wonder and hope,
seasons of suffering and love,
seasons of healing...
Macrina Wiederkehr
Do not anticipate trouble,
or worry about what
may never happen.
Keep in the sunlight.
Benjamin Franklin
Imaginary obstacles
are insurmountable.
Real ones aren't.
Barbara Sher
The open-minded see
the truth in different things:
the narrow-minded see
only the differences.

Weekend Reflections & Street Photography
Unnoticed smile – fleeting moment,
lost in the hustle of life.
Profound beauty, quiet resilience.
Respite from the round of strife.
Unnoticed smile - hidden grace,
Softly whispers in a noisy place.
No fanfare heralds it's gentle might,
Yet in its subtlety, a profound light.
Blooms in secret like a flower
Unseen by most, but felt for hours
It's quiet strength pierces the din,
Beacon of hope and love within.
Let us cherish unnoticed smiles,
Little things making life worthwhile.

"see the truth in different things"
Except for tRUMP. There is NO truth in tRUMP.
Seems to be always about a balance between positive and negative emotions
As always, thank you both.
Hello,
Love your *smiles* poem.
Beautiful rainbow and pretty sky captures.
The flower is beautiful and Pixie always looks adorable.
Take care, enjoy your day and happy weekend!
Great rainbow.
...wishing you a fabulous weekend!
Pixie looks relaxed.
Loved the Franklin quote...especially thinking about how being in the sunshine keeps worrying down. Oh yes the smiles are all over the place, just floating into the ether!
The land of rainbows.
Truly, it is the little things that make life worth living.
Blessings, Cloudia!
Gotta love Ben Franklin. He was way ahead of his time.
You always give us words to help fight the worry and negativity, Cloudia. ;-)
Loved the Ben Franklin quote and the palm trees to go with it. Gotta love the passing smiles, perfect for Friday Smiles.
The exception that proves the rule

Warm photos of your environment. I like your reflections photo showing the ideal reality on the wall, and street reality as people just walk past without a glance.
I hope you will be spared real obstacles this weekend.
I really love all your wise words today….many of which I live with.
Hugs,
