Be patient where
you sit in the dark.
The dawn is coming.
Rumi
The world is new to us
every morning
- this is God's gift;
and everyone should believe
they are reborn each day.
Baal Shem Tov
Whenever the devil
harasses you,
seek the company of people
or drink more,
or joke and talk nonsense,
or do some other merry thing.
Sometimes we must drink more,
sport, recreate ourselves,
and even sin a little
to spite the devil.
Martin Luther
There is one spectacle
grander than the sea,
that is the sky;
there is one spectacle
grander than the sky,
that is the interior
of the soul
Victor Hugo
What sunshine is to flowers,
smiles are to humanity.
These are but trifles,
to be sure; but scattered
along life's pathway,
the good they do
is inconceivable.
Joseph Addison

It's often the unexpected
that brings the joy
if we can only relax
enough to make
room for it.

Positive outlook is crucial
Another inspirational post.
So how endearing Pixie looks again in this very cuddly photo.
Wonderful quotes and beautiful photos.
Take care, have a happy day and a great week ahead!
Dear Cloudia,
Martin Luther suggested "sport"? I doubt this is an actual quote from Luther—no one did sports in Luther's time (1483 to 1546). I wanted to know more, so I did some research: There's nothing comparable in German (Luther's language). There is no definitive source that verifies this quote from Luther's writings. However, there is a quote by Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527), Italian politician, writer, historian, and a contemporary of Martin Luther, that begins similarly: "When the devil wants to confuse people, ... (...he uses idealists for this purpose.)" The exact wording could come from a different context or be a modern interpretation – I suspect someone cobbled together something from various quotes and then simply wrote Luther's name underneath... and now it's falsely circulating on the internet as a Luther quote...
Otherwise: Again, very beautiful pictures and quotes, and a sweet little Pixie whose head I'd also like to scratch.
All the best, Traude

...be good and if you can't, be careful.
One has to be positive in this day and age. The photos are lovely.
Love the palm trees, Cloudia. ;-)
Your sunset photo is beyond fantastic!
Yes to Pixie's head enjoying your touch, and the Hugo quote is right on!
I adore that photo of Pixie! Blessings, Cloudia!
I love the shot of the dog with the leis and pride flag! Pixie is adorable today. My favorite shot is the one of the sun paired with the Victor Hugo quote.
I'm puzzled by the milk jug!
Thanks for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2025/03/more-floral-fantasies-philly-flower-show.html
The Luther quote surprises me but it shouldn’t bc certain Christians did not have such a dim view of alcohol like many contemporary evangelicals.
Oh wow; look at those beautiful skies!
"smiles are to humanity." Remember also, laughing is good for your health.
The skies are absolutely beautiful.
The dawn is not coming fast enough for the world at the moment....#TheRandom
Pixie looks content.
All beautiful, but Pixie is the most beautiful.

I love the rainbow, the palm trees, the dog with his Pride flag, and sweet Pixie. I was really impressed with the milk jug, sin, and Martin Luther quote. They were perfect for T this week. Sorry I was a day behind the times!
Lovely Post!
I am trying to be mindful of nature as it is a way to calm down....Michelle
