So Just Don't Bother!
Nothing is forever
in this world, not
even our problems.
Charlie Chaplin
In a dark place
on a hot afternoon.
Sometimes that's all
the therapy you need.
Let the sun blaze outside,
I'll stay here.
You'll find me in the shadows
Where the glasses clink.
Some worship the sun,
So pretty to look out at,
I’ll take the shade
With a drink in hand.

Even on a fallen leaf
blossoms find a
place to shine.
Proof that beauty lingers,
even through
time's changes.
At journey’s end,
life still finds a
way to bloom.
What is Pixie's drink of choice? Catnip tea? She looks like she was drinking something stronger than catnip.
ReplyDeleteChaplin's quote is so good
ReplyDeleteI agree with Roentare. What a nice quote.
ReplyDelete...keep clinking.
ReplyDeleteExcellent first quote. When I used to get nervous or worried about exams or such my dad always used to say something similar to this. If only people would listen half the population wouldn't need medicated! Going out in nature is the best medicine along with pets. I really think owning an animal helps people. You have Pixie and I have my 6 cats <3<3
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower. Cute Pixie!
ReplyDeleteLots of water in my life as I try to stay hydrated!
ReplyDeleteI love your comment to the Watts quote.
ReplyDeleteLove the Watts quote. I would be in the dark place having a cold drink with you, Cloudia. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLife will always continue to bloom, won't it? Love you, Cloudia and Pixie!
ReplyDeletePixie wants belly rubs.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about that anxiety meme. I wouldn't want to be a bomb disposal technician that had even a little anxiety.
ReplyDeleteI like Charlie Chaplin's quote.
ReplyDeleteI really like that first quote. It is so true. Have a nice Monday.
ReplyDeleteClever kit Pixie! Wise and wonderful post as always :)
ReplyDeleteI love all the quotes and all the beautiful photography. Pixie is the best of all the photographs.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches to Pixie. ♥
Nice poem, and like you, I'd take the shade and a cold drink. Have a super T day. And give Pixie a pat for me. Erika
ReplyDeleteSorry, I haven’t visited for a while. I love your first quote. I have one I like, and don’t know who said it, but “worrying is complaining ahead of time”, 😃. Happy t day.
ReplyDeleteThe Watts quote spoke to me and I really love the one by Chaplin. Love your poem and I love that you also chose the shade and darkened room over the hot sun. These are absolutely wonderful photos and quotes and perfect for T this week, dear Cloudia and Pixie. Thanks for sharing and caring.
ReplyDeleteI need to listen to Allen Watts...
ReplyDeleteYes life is a bloomer!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post and photos.
ReplyDeleteDear Cloudia,
ReplyDeleteonce again, you’ve shared wise words, atmospheric photos – and the sweetest Pixie 😻. Like you, I also prefer shade over sunshine on hot days, accompanied by a refreshing cool drink 🥤.
If you'd like, feel free to stop by my latest post – there’s plenty of tree-lined river walks and chilled beverages waiting for you there 🌳🚶♀️💦.
Sending love, happy T-Day, and a gentle cuddle for Pixie!

Fabulous! Happy 12th Anniversary T Day wishes ❤️. Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteNice quotes and gorgeous Pixie. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteToo true. I'll be indoors with my drink too. It's just 'too darn hot'.
ReplyDeleteI am a ball of anxiety this past year and trying to use a mindfulness app that my psychologist daughter suggested....Michelle
