Wonder Of Life

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Even the longest
day has its end.
Irish Proverb




There comes a time
when you have to choose
between turning the page
and closing the book.
 Josh Jameson




Eagle soars, Bull stands strong,
Chrome steed gleams, a country song.
Outside a restaurant curious sight,
Creatures blend in neon light.
Beneath Hawaii skies of blue
A taste of Mexico waits for you!
Pixie



Life is not always a matter
of holding good cards,
but sometimes playing
a poor hand well.
    Jack London

Love You,

Cloudia & Pixie

Happiness is possible
only when you stop running
and cherish the present
moment and who you are. Who
you are is already a wonder; you
don't need to be someone else.
You are a wonder of life.
            Thich Naht Hanh

Pixie is suitably regal.

I love the sunset sky shot and Pixie's poem, but her satisfied smirk makes me wonder if that restaurant puts catnip instead of cilantro in its pico de gallo salsa... Or maybe just catnip flavored guacamole??? Inquiring minds would like to know which Mexican foods delight Queen Pixie's palate.
