Living is the art of
getting used to what
we didn’t expect.
Eleanor C. Wood
I could not live in any of the worlds offered to me — the world of my parents, the world of war, the world of politics. I had to create a world of my own, like a climate, a country, an atmosphere in which I could breathe, reign, and recreate myself when destroyed by living. That, I believe, is the reason for every work of art.

Connections can last
for a second
or a lifetime.
Risk It!
No one is ordinary
because every person
carries the wisdom of
their own unique path.
Mehmet Murat ildan
One can pay back the
loan of gold, but
one dies forever
in debt to those
who are kind.

ReplyDeleteThank You Friend ππ½
DeleteLove that proverb - and the way to pay it back is by being kind ourselves.
ReplyDeleteDoes Pixie dance when you play the Peanuts Christmas song? Or does she just lie there blissfully enjoying?
ReplyDeleteFantastic how some still keep their spirits up and can convey that. It is a matter of perseverance and I am grateful for that.
ReplyDeleteOh! Pixie! What a lovely expression.
