Mind Lift

 A L O H A  From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U
This is not a
left or right moment.
It is a
right or wrong
moment. Cory Booker
         US Senator



Plumeria 
Now shall I walk
Or shall I ride? “Ride,” Pleasure said. “Walk,” Joy replied. W.H. Davies 



Judgments prevent us
from seeing the good that lies
beyond appearances. Wayne Dyer




An inexhaustible good nature 
is one of the most 
precious gifts of heaven, 
spreading itself like oil 
over the troubled sea 
of thought, and keeping 
the mind smooth and equable
in the roughest weather.
    Washington Irving 






When it comes to
staying young,
a mind-lift beats
a face-lift any day. Marty Bucella

Pixie looks forever young, but I am not sure she has had a mind lift; she looks more like she had a nice nap. Love the Cory Booker quote.

Wayne Dyer's words are a powerful reminder that our perceptions shape our reality

Booker's quote is great, Cloudia. ;-)

I'd take a mind lift over a face lift any day of the week. Blessings, Cloudia!

Bill said...

Cory Booker has got it right.

Barbara Rogers said...

I'll definitely have to try more joy of walking!

This collection of quotes is uplifting and thought-provoking. Cory Booker’s words remind us that sometimes the real question is about integrity rather than ideology. The W.H. Davies excerpt paints a poetic picture of life's choices—embracing pleasure or joy in movement. And Wayne Dyer’s perspective on judgment is a reminder to look deeper than surface appearances.

Washington Irving’s insight on good nature is beautifully expressed, carrying wisdom that feels timeless, while Marty Bucella’s clever take on youth is one to remember.

Thank you for sharing this—it’s like a small dose of wisdom for the day.

By the way, I’ve just shared a new post—you might enjoy it: www.melodyjacob.com.

Beautiful shot above the buildings.

I find when I walk I see more things than when I ride a bike, or drive a car, or be with other folks. Joy is everywhere.
