Wisest And Best

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Every year of my life
I grow more convinced that it
is wisest and best
to fix our attention on the beautiful and good
and dwell as little
as possible on the
dark and the base.
Richard Cecil




No place is Someplace
when it's a
Beautiful Place.
Green Ti Plants,
Palm Trees &
A Rainbow Shower Tree
say: Waikiki



The turtle lays thousands of eggs
without anyone knowing, but
when the hen lays an egg,
the whole country is informed.
        Malay Proverb



Two word wisdom

Light and brief A simple truth For life's relief: Enjoy It!

Enjoy the journey The tumbles, the climb Lessons that linger With the passage of time.

Cloudia Charters




One must still have chaos
in oneself to be able to
give birth to a dancing star.
Friedrich Nietzsche

  1. Good morning Claudia, have a nice week! You have once again given me beautiful images from a country so far away!! I liked the quote that says to focus our attention on the positive things that are happening! I always think that from every person we meet in our life we ​​should keep their positives and ignore the negatives (as far as it doesn't bother us).

  2. Turtle is a silent endeavour.

  3. Love that little sliver of Moon.

    The life story of the turtles is a wonder to behold.

  4. A glorious post today. Pixie says, "Give me more catnip, and I will release the chaos within in a wild furry dance routine. We will all be joyful."

  14. Your journey quote is perfect for us after a disappointing weekend in dog sports. It is a journey, but it is hard to not be impatient. We have to do better at sitting back and enjoying the journey, not just the wins.

  18. I'm at the point where dark and base is getting scary to even think about. Happy T day you and Pixie too. I also love the turtle photo.

  19. Sea turtles are fascinating. I once watched one lay her eggs on an island in the Great Barrier Reef. It was impressive. Another time I saw the eggs hatching and the tiny turtles stumbling down the sand while sea birds were trying to scoop them up for a nice bite.

  22. I love the palm tree, but have never heard of a Rainbow Shower Tree before. Loved the guy with the cart and his energy drink. They both say Waikiki. Loved the shot of Pixie, too. Thanks for this wonderful entry you shared for T this Tuesday, dear Cloudia.
