A L O H A From Honolulu!
The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions—the little soon forgotten charities of a kiss or smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment, and the countless infinitesimals of pleasurable and genial feeling.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Let's go to the Joy Farm
And grow us
a bountiful crop,
Of giggles and grins
and contentment
Then all of our worries
will stop.
And grow us
a bountiful crop,
Of giggles and grins
and contentment
Then all of our worries
will stop.
Plant seeds of delight,
Then water with sweet rain,
Cultivate coolness
To soothe every pain.
We'll harvest contentment,
Big bushels so grand,
Share joy with the world
Raised on our land.
With joy as our guide
And our spirits made free,
We'll build a whole world
Of shared felicity.

One joy scatters a hundred griefs.
Chinese Proverb
Childhood is the purest state. The pure of heart never leave it behind. Their life merely takes them on a circuitous route away from, and then back to it.

The bonsai looks really good
Soothing and joyful, thank you Cloudia and Pixie.
Thank you. May all your weeds be wildflowers.
Lovely images and words.
Your post bring us all joy!
Take care, have a great day!
...being twisted can be beautiful.
I shall be thinking about your poem all day. Does Pixie ever get tired of being photographed?
Your poetry - beautiful!
Loved your poem on joy! And that interrupted rainbow! And of course sweet Pixie!
Joy Farm is a great metaphor. Well played.
I love the Comfort Spiral Joy Farm! Pixie seems to be enjoying her inner-napping-baby... Have a glorious day!
I love your poem so much, Cloudia. Thanks for spreading bits of joy. ;-)
Yes lets stop all our worries.
I am frankly blown away by your amazing response to the poetry! I so appreciate your friendship. Together we can! Pixie tolerates photography at best. But then all divas are finicky! Aloha friends!🌴❤️
Wonderful poetry. Good for you.
I'm still trying to garden but losing the joy of it all!
Our cats don't like being photographed!
Oh, yes, may we spread joy wherever we may be and wherever we go. And I remember that song! Blessings, Cloudia!
We think the joy farm is a perfect place! All the little happys in the world add up to make the world a happier place. Just a simple hello or good morning to another person brings out a quick little happy.
Such beautiful photos and a wonderful poem. Pixie, you are adorable. Thanks for joining Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Appreciate You Each!
Gorgeous first shot.
