Do Not Lose

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

Never be in a hurry;
do everything quietly
and in a calm spirit.
Do not lose your
inner peace
for anything whatsoever,
even if your whole world
seems upset.
Saint Francis de Sales


The weakest ones
are the wickedest cruel
When the strongest ones
in gentleness rule!
Ana Claudia Antunes



Details matter,
but context matters more.
Seth Godin



Do not anticipate trouble, or 
worry about what may never happen. 
Keep in the sunlight.
Benjamin Franklin

Keep Paddling 
with your pals!
Pixie



 I am determined to be 
cheerful and happy in 
whatever situation I may 
find myself. For I have learned
 that the greater part of 
our misery or unhappiness is 
determined not by our
 circumstance but 
by our disposition.

            Martha Washington

  1. Does Pixie like to swim with the ducks or just to watch them and drool? Of course, only dogs drool; cats rule, right? I love the messages in each quote and picture today.

  2. Autune's verse beautifully reminds us that true strength lies not in harshness but in the quiet power of kindness and restraints

  8. Good morning Cloudia and Pixie. Yes context does certainly make a difference. Will I remember my eye exam the other day as much as the eye doc finding the Big Dipper on the sky chart in the exam room? Nope...that was such a touching thing for him to do.
