Bridge To Happiness

Not all things that
fall down break.
Some develop wings.
N. S. Chandra



Your mind is a ship; 
it can sail across 
the universe as long 
as you don't allow 
negative thoughts to sink it.

Beautiful things 
are quiet beings.
 Laura Chouette







 Unhappiness can be 
a bridge to happiness.

Heliconia is a genus of flowering plants in the monotypic family Heliconiaceae. Most of the 194 known species[3] are native to the tropical Americas, but a few are indigenous to certain islands of the western Pacific and Maluku in Indonesia.[2] Many species of Heliconia are found in the tropical forests of these regions. Most species are listed as either vulnerable or data deficient by the IUCN Red List of threatened species.[4] Several species are widely cultivated as ornamentals, and a few are naturalized in Florida, Gambia, and Thailand.[2]

Common names for the genus include lobster-claws, toucan beak, wild plantain, or false bird-of-paradise; the last term refers to their close similarity to the bird-of-paradise flowers in the Strelitzia genus. Collectively, these plants are also simply referred to as "heliconias". Wikipedia

A beautiful reminder that the vastness of our potential is limited only by the anchors we choose to carry

Love that first sky shot and the little boy. Pixie looks like she is using her mind to sail across the universe all from the comfort of her bed.
