Rest is not idleness, and
to lie sometimes on the grass
under trees on a summer’s day,
listening to the murmur
of the water, or watching
the clouds float across the sky,
is by no means a waste of time.
J. Lubbock
Live your life
while you have it.
Life is a splendid gift.
There is nothing
small in it.

Awamori (泡盛, Okinawan: アームイ,
āmui) is an alcoholic beverage
indigenous and unique to Okinawa,
Japan. It is made from long grain
indica rice, and is not a direct
product of brewing (like sake)
but of distillation (like shōchū).
The majority of awamori made
today uses indica rice imported
from Thailand, as the local
production is largely insufficient
to meet domestic demand,
which has risen considerably
in recent years.
Awamori is typically 60–86 proof
(30–43% alcohol)

Life itself is the most

awamori sounds like a rugged drop.
Hooray for resting - and for fairy tales.
Wonderful. Have a good week :-D
Beautiful sky/reflection photo.
Great quotes! Take care, have a wonderful week.
Nice again to start the week.
...the older we become, time gets more valuable.
Beautiful shots.
Oh that alcoholic beverage sounds so interesting, and quite a lot of punch I'd imagine! Love the Anderson quote with Pixie giving such a look of intensity!
It is difficult for me to rest in the sense of doing nothing. It is not that I am energetic, but I will tend to pick up the phone or tablet and do this or that with it. Unless, I am actively trying to nap, which is a different thing.
I love to sit and just watch the clods go by, Cloudia. ;-)
Some of my best childhood memories are lying on my back on the grass and watching the clouds drift by. Never a waste of time! Blessings, Cloudia!
The Western world needs to learn how to rest.
Maybe a generous pour of Awamori would help!
Love the sky shot at the beginning. Pixie looks a bit disapproving of the Awamori lions; she doesn't think they should be drinking on the job. Their lion dances depend on deftness and sobriety...
A beautiful post with beautiful Pixie.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches to Pixie. ♥
I love that amazing sunset!
Cute Pixie!
Beautiful photos, stunning sunset
These days it is hard to just do nothing and relax as society makes you feel like you need to be constantly doing something. The first two quotes are our favorites.
I need to do a better job of following J. Lubbock's advice.
J. Lubbock's quote has always been one of my favorites :) Beautiful words, beautiful photos and beautiful Pixie :) and of course you are beautiful too in many ways dear Cloudia :)
Aloha! Namaste 🙏
Each of your comments is such a treat. We so appreciate seeing them. Thank you each of you. Aloha
It seems I learn something new each T Tuesday. Today I learned about Awamori. It is perfect for T this Tuesday. Of course, we all may need a few good fairy tales in our lives (and Pixie, too). Thanks for sharing these quotes and the drink with us for T this week, Cloudia.
Wishing you a very Happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
I remember having a sip of awamori in Japan. It's strong stuff. But I didn't know anything about it. Thanks for sharing that, and the beautiful hibiscus flower. Give Pixie a pat for me, and happy T day.
Beautiful shots! Thanks so much for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2025/05/atlantic-city-nj.html
I had never heard of Awamori, so thank you for 'introducing' me to that. It sounds as strong liquor. I wonder if it tastes nice. Probably not.
I like the J.Lubbard quote. He is absolutely right of course. (I assume it is a 'he')
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
Sometimes hard to tune out the awful.....
