The present is
all we have
to live in.
Or to lose.

As soon as I stop wishing
for things to be different,
 I am met by the
beauty of what is.

The best of healers
is good cheer.

Smiles are
the soul's
party dresses.

Getting old is like
climbing a mountain;
you get a little 
out of breath,
but the view is 
much better!

  19. I love all the moments you captured, especially your cat, as I'm a cat lover to. Ingrid Bergman's quote was on target too. My wife and I loved Maui, and hope to visit Honolulu some day. Happy T Tuesday and blessings from Texas!

  20. Not sure how long I will be able to leave comments before I have to lie down, but I'm determined to catch up.

    LOVE both Pixie photos. That girl with the drink is gorgeous. I'm always amazed at how women look so fit in Hawaii. Thanks for joining in for T awhile back, dear Cloudia.
