Worth Remembering

Aloha From Honolulu!
When one door closes,
another window opens.
Julie Andrews






Sunday saw the

My mission in life is
not merely to survive,
but to thrive; and to do
so with some passion,
some compassion, some
humor, and some style.
 Maya Angelou



Cattle Egret

An evil person is like
a dirty window, they
never let the light
shine through.

most problems – if only 
you give them enough time 
and space – 
will eventually 
wear themselves out.

How much time Buddha? Has Buddha heard of tRUMP?

Cloudia said...

His buddy Putin is not looking too good right now. The dictator of Syria is out on his ass, and Iran looks helpless. Hamas? Basically a name from the past at this point. So keep the faith we will get through this!

I would hope Elizabeth Gilbert is correct.

Time flies when you're having rum --
I never thought of it before, but are there Hawaiian rums? I always think of rum as a Caribbean spirit, but it's from cane, so...maybe?

A wonderfully positive post. And yes, good rum can do something. :D

Finishing a marathon is worth more than just the medal. Yes the Buddha had it right, so did Angelou! With a bit of rum in my coke please.

Pixie looks so wise in this photo. And yes, when God closes a door, you can be sure He's opened a window. Blessings, Cloudia!

Buddha has it right. Times changes everything no matter how bleak. Have a good and happy day, Cloudia.

I especially enjoyed the time flies when you are having rum. Gave me such a chuckle. All your photos are splendid, but the sun spot on the building is gorgeous! Love all the positivity in your post. Thank you my friend. Please give Pixie a scratch on the ears from me.

I agree on Kenia's proverb about the value of a good discussion.

I like your new header photo with the rainbow. How sweet. I also like your sign where rum is substituted for fun. I'm not sure about that as I have lots of fun without rum.
