Happiness Nearest

A L O H A From Honolulu!

An unexamined life
is not worth living. Socrates



Love is like paint –
you can’t spread even a little
without getting some on yourself.
Wayne L. Misner


To be wise is to be
eternally curious.
Frederick Buechner



Sing with your voices,
your hearts, your
lips and your lives.
Augustine Of Hippo


To be kind to all, to
like many and love a few, to
be needed and wanted by those 
 we love, is certainly the nearest we
can come to happiness.
      Mary Stuart

I really liked the saying that being wise essentially makes you eternally curious, meaning that until the end, you’ll have the desire to keep learning!! That’s wonderful, and I think it’s true.
I also loved the colors of love!!
Have a wonderful day, Claudia🧡

I love that bird of paradise photo.

I like that picture if Pixie because it highlights the orange spot on his chin. The verse that goes with the pic is also very good: kind, like, love.

Sweet dreams, Pixie. I saw a toddler (obviously still in a diaper) just tootling along. It's amazing that we all can learn to walk with that huge mass between our legs. But this little one just was zooming hither and yon, while Mom kind of played safety catch to keep her from falling into the lake.
