The first sign of
intelligence is curiosity.
The second is staying calm.
The third is helping others.

Dogs do speak,
but...
...only to those who
know how to listen.

We can't be grateful and
worried at the same time.
When I notice that
I am worrying, I immediately
say: 'Thank You' for the
good things of my life.
There's always a
burst of relief.
Other people have
Secret sorrows.
Private worries that
Cloud their tomorrows.
You don't need to
Know what they are.
Just shine on them
With your secret star.

ReplyDeleteThe pack of dogs being walked, all of the same breed is interesting.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much to worry about, too.
ReplyDeleteI loved that first quote. I do worry.
I'm glad that the Boss told it like it is, so other countries' people know that the people in the US are so angry and unsupportive of the stupidity of the orange one in his alienation from the world of democratic peoples.
ReplyDeleteI love the quote that you wrote my friend. Sweet hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteThere is always a bit of comfort here, Cloudia. Thanks. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love the quotes today. That first sky shot is excellent, and Pixie looks like she wishes she had a rainbow tutu like the dog in the picture.
ReplyDeletePixie looks like a secret star that's shining. Blessings, Cloudia!
ReplyDeleteWords of wisdom and words of love. Thank you for that.
ReplyDeleteI shall try to shone with my secret star. It’s good to be reminded that we don’t have to know the details of others’ troubles.
ReplyDeleteSuch thoughtful words and beautiful reflections—true reminders of curiosity, calm, and gratitude. It’s wonderful to see these shared with such care. I just shared a new travel post. I am excited for you to read it. Thank you. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteMy dog definitely speaks. I don’t even have to listen. He’s very vocal. He makes me listen. I really hope our country does make it through this sometimes I wonder.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos and wonderful words. Bruce Springsteen is absolutely right.

Beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteThere I'm all caught up. Love to Pixie and you, I'm about to try to paint that hibiscus wearing pink stripes, the quote about a mind stretched has been my fave a long time, I kept it on the front of notebooks in college. Love, LeeAnna
ReplyDeleteI like the upbeat quotes you have gathered and your photos. Yes, let's shine on others. I like the photo of 3 dogs, I think they are Irish wolfhounds. So majestic.
ReplyDeleteThat first shot is a stunner.
