Today well lived
makes every yesterday
a dream of happiness,
and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day. Indian Proverb



The doors we open
and close each day decide the lives we live. Flora Whittemore



We all have two lives.
The second one starts
when we realize
we only have one.

Pixie seems to be full of Aloha spirit today! Great message about living life, and I love the two gentlemen in that last shot.

What an interesting quote from Tom Hiddleston, It seems my second life started some time ago.

Andrew said...

Hiddleston's quote is interesting to think about. I am not sure which life I am in.

Such a timeless and grounding reminder—there’s so much wisdom in focusing on the present moment. Thank you for sharing this beautiful proverb; it’s exactly the kind of reflection that gently recenters the day.

Cloudia, this feels like a deep breath of ocean air—calm, wise, and grounding. That Indian proverb hits the heart just right today. Sending love to you and sweet Pixie from afar.

...some days I'd like to be pulled around in a red wagon.

Barbara Rogers said...

A great way to get around, a red wagon. These soft sided ones are a great replacement for the old metal ones!

Kathy G said...

A nice collection today. Thank you.

RedPat said...

Words to encourage, Cloudia. ;-)

It is cool and raining (again) in SWMO, but it will be a good day because I choose for it to be a good day!
Be well, my friend.

Cloudia said...

Thanks so very much friends. Thank you!

That Hiddleston quote is thought provoking. I loved the man with the boy. I liked that they had matching hats. And I liked that the man had water, which made it perfect for T this Tuesday. Pixie looked adorable, too!

I hope it was super T day-at least so far. And as always, it's fun to see you photos and read those quotes.

Yes....The doors we open
and close each day
decide the lives we live.
