Sunset Soft and Fleeting


A L O H A From Honolulu!


Sunset soft and fleeting
Paint with day's last light,
Gentle hush ascending
Busyness taking flight.

Contentment is the seed
Sown in fertile hearts it grows,
Appreciation's blossom
Where gratitude freely flows.

Hi!














Sincere deeds 
invite new friends.
 Toba Beta








Today I bent the truth to
be kind, and I have no regret,
for I am far surer of
what is kind than I
am of what is true.
Robert Brault

Water the longevity drink
clear and pure, Nature's richest gift, for sure!
Quenching thirst that vital art, Cleansing body, soul,
and heart.
Drink it often, every day, Longevity's tonic paves the way.

It helps to have a lovely bowl of ramen with your water.. I can't tell if Pixie is surprised by the day or demanding her tax portion of delicious ramen. Cool post today. I love the shot of the palm frond waving hello.

Hooray for kindness. I delight in the ephemeral magic of sunrise and sunset.

Cloudia said...

Me too. Great reading both of you gals 💞

I really liked this quote.
I think usually people are angry because they are not satisfied with themselves!
Have a beautiful week Clοudia🧡

I never thought about 'bending the truth for kindness' that way before, but it makes perfect sense.

RedPat said...

Here's to bending the truth for kindness, Cloudia. ;-)

Love the mural, and the plant saying hi, LOL! Bending the truth to be nice is a kind thing to do. Have a wonderful week.

Great photos!

Looks like I'm a bit late to the party. I love that poem you wrote and Pixie looks good as ever. That guy had quite the hat!

That looks like quite a feast you were having. I enjoyed the part about water being Nature's biggest gift. I thought that was excellent, but I also noticed the bottle of Coors on the table, too. Thanks for this wonderful T Tuesday entry you shared with us this week, dear Cloudia. I appreciate you!!

Rostrose said...

Dear Cloudia, I find the reflection of the mural and the cyclist in the car particularly beautiful today. In general, another great collection - and a cute pixie :-D
All the best, Traude
