Sunset is still
my favorite color, and
rainbow is second.
Mattie Stepanek
Perfect happiness is
a beautiful sunset,
the giggle of a grandchild,
the first snowfall. It's
the little things that
make happy moments,
not the grand events.
Joy comes in sips,
not gulps.

A woman is like a tea bag -
you can't tell how strong
she is until you
put her in hot water.

Good morning Claudia!
ReplyDeleteWith a wonderful sunset and an even more beautiful rainbow!!
Thank you!!
I love the idea of joy being something to sip on. Thank you - and for providing some delicious sips too.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think rainbow is my favorite color, but those sunsets are awesome! Pixie is saying, "Don't put me in hot water! I will blast you with my strength as a I claw my way out!"
ReplyDeleteWoman as a tea bag quote is sounding quite interesting to read

Ooh, a double rainbow in the first pic. I was 50+ years old before I saw my first one on a drive from The Rockies eastward to Calgary. It was the first that I was aware of, anyway.
ReplyDeleteNice quotes. I love the sunset picture. Really stunning.
