Because somewhere out there
is someone who needs that story.
And that is why we write.

Out of difficulties
grow miracles.
Jean de la Bruyere
Do what you can,
with what you have,
where you are.
Theodore Roosevelt
Less is the language
the heart truly speaks,
Not grand gestures
But silence it seeks.
the heart truly speaks,
Not grand gestures
But silence it seeks.
And peace isn't measured
By things we possess,
But lightness within us
A quiet happiness.
Serene as a pebble
Worn smooth by the tide,
No clutter or chaos
Just space to reside,
A calmness that settles,
Just space to reside,
A calmness that settles,
Where worries subside.
In quiet contentment
Freedom from bane,
Live life unencumbered
Survive and sustain.

Sometimes,
the best friendships are
the unexpected ones.
Neil Gaiman is one of my favourite authors.
ReplyDeleteThe second orchid is beautiful and an unusual colour.
ReplyDeletePixie looks like she has asked you a question and is waiting for an answer.
That first photo warms me up a bit. Expecting more snow this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteWhen I start shoveling snow today I'll be hoping for some helpful miracles.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, your poem is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteTake care, enjoy your day and have a happy week!
It's summer somewhere!
ReplyDeleteI like that it will come here when we want it,
for now it's winter.
Your poem is very beautiful!
Have a nice Week Kloudia!

ReplyDeleteI like all your quotes. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteThe quotes are perfect and the photos are great. Have a great day, Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteToday's words are nice, but the tropical photos are what I really needed on a cold, snowy day.
ReplyDeleteDespite, not knowing where to link at the T party, I found you. Cloudia, that poem is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI love these quotes! They are the perfect motivation as we start the new year. I have just finished setting my new years resolutions. In 2025 I am hoping to travel more, learn to knit, and have my kitchen cabinets refinished. Thanks so much for the inspiration!!!

ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful poem my friend. Also heart balm are your photos and wise words. They keep me going. Thank you Cloudia, give Pixie a scratch from me, with hugs.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the missing link for T Tuesday. I'll be more careful next week! I was actually working with Halle to get the HTML link back.
ReplyDeleteI am sitting here freezing and looking at the lady in the bathing suit at the beach. What a contrast to my world right now.
I love the idea of growing miracles out of difficulty. And I REALLY love the idea of unexpected friendships. What a great photo and quote. Just perfect for T this Tuesday, dear Claudia.
Wishing you all the very best for 2025 ❤️ . Happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your photos.
ReplyDeleteLovely poem. It's very cold today so I appreciate the warm beach photo. Wondered if Pixie is a cuddler because it's a good day for kitty snuggles, too. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteSeeing it's about 12 degrees with a brutal wind tonight, your photos are making me envious-grin. I believe you said you went to college in NH, so you might know what I saying about this cold weather. Hope it was a great T day. hugs-Erika
