Footing

 A L O H A  From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

If you cannot see the rainbow because your face is down, don't argue that no rainbow is up there. Lift up your passion and take your dreams off the ground! Israelmore Ayivor



Be the Person
Your Dog Thinks
You Are. C.J. Frick



 

Don't fall 
before you're pushed. 
English Proverb






We carry inside us 
the wonders we seek 
outside us. 
        Rumi




Mind be clear
Strong and free,
Ready to face
Whatever may be.

To handle life's puzzles 
With consummate ease,
Find joy in the simple things,
That please.

But when balance falters
Life gets tough,
Each day a struggle
It can be rough!

I lose my way,
And darkness starts to creep,
Making every moment feel 
like a heavy sleep.

So I remind myself
To take care each day,
To nurture my mind
And live a better way.
I breathe, I calm, I focus
On what's real,
And slowly, my balance
Begins to heal.

With every step, 
I find my footing again,
And life becomes manageable, 
less of a strain.

I learn to appreciate
The little things,
And find peace in the
Quiet moments that brings.
Cloudia Charters

Be patient where you 
sit in the dark. The 
dawn is coming.

Wonderful poem,
it contains the most positive exhortations!!
But also the quote that says that
we look outside ourselves for what we have inside ourselves,
how true!!
Have a wonderful day Clοudia🌸!!!
