That I can

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. May Sarton

It takes real heart to make beauty out of the stuff that makes us weep. Clive Barker


When we give cheerfully
and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed. Maya Angelou


I cannot do
all the good that
the world needs. But
the world needs all
the good that I can do. Jana Stanfield 



So breathe in deep,
let worries cease, Embrace the now,
find your peace. What matters most,
in truth, we see,
Is this day right here— just you and me. Pixie

Because of your smile, 
you make life more beautiful.
Thich Nhat Hanh

Share your smile 
with the world. 
It’s a symbol of 
friendship and peace.

I love the Maya Angelou quote and the rainbow. Pixie looks like she's doing a yoga pose.

I remember reading May Sarton in my 50s, with curiosity about what "70" was going to maybe be like. Thanks for Pixie's and all the other quotes, which go so nicely with beauty in the photos!

I need to remember the May Sarton quote when things aren't going the way I think they should.

I do like May Sarton!
I am happy to now have 2 clients. I've been terribly depressed, so winding up has been good for me!

I love all of these quotes, but the poem about finding peace and embracing the now is so perfect.
