A L O H A From Honolulu!
The best advice
I ever gave myself was to
"just do my best."
That it would be enough.
Not an invitation to slack off,
far from it: The best I can
under the circumstances. Then
not worry about it anymore.
Liberation of a kind.
An important kind.

Life is a garden, not a road.
We enter and exit
through the same gate.
Wandering, where we go
matters less than
what we notice.

I still carry these versions of myself. It’s a kind of reincarnation without death: all these different lives we get to live in this one body, as ourselves. Maggie Smith
In every heart,
there is a spark of
the firebird's magic –
the ability to transform
and rise from the ashes.
Susanna Kearsley
A tickle, a spark, a building delight,
Tension mounts as the joke takes flight.
Then suddenly - burst! A comedic release,
Endorphins rush, all worries cease.
This blissful reset, a humorous high,
Leaves us breathless, our spirits fly.
In laughter's warm afterglow we bask,
A joyful reprieve from life's heavy task.
Laughgasm:
Nature's merry design,
To clear our minds and realign.

Life is indeed a garden - and one to be enjoyed.
I'm so glad you included a quote by Maggie Smith. She will be missed.
I don't think I have ever seen a pink hibiscous. (Is that what that is? Smile.) Thank you for sharing it with us.
I like the Kurt Vonnegut quote!
Beautiful photos and quotes!
Maggie Smith will be missed.
Take care, have a great day and a happy week ahead.
...round out your Spectacular September with a bang.
This post was a treat today, Cloudia. ;-)
Lovely mural as an ad.
Yes, just do your best, with the information you have at the time. That is a good mantra.
Beautiful quotes and photos. And to do your best is a decent mantra!

Pixie is saying "Laugh with me not at me!" I love your new word: Laughgasm! Great post.
Orchid tree blooms and hibiscus, two favorites of mine.
Lovely photos, lovely flowers, lovely words :) Wishing you a wonderful week Cloudia and Pixie.
Thank you for your wonderful quote, "the best advice"... I needed to read that today.
Such inspiring photos and insights today as always, Cloudia. God bless you both!
Maggie Smith was a grand lady.
