All The Windows

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

All the windows
of my heart
I open to the day.
John Greenleaf Whittier




As the shadow 
follows the body,
 As we think, 
so we become.
Buddha





With happiness 
comes intelligence
to the heart.
  Chinese proverb





  If we opened our minds 
to enjoyment, 
we might find 
tranquil pleasures spread 
about us on every side. 
We might live with the angels 
that visit us on every sunbeam, 
and sit with the fairies 
who wait on every flower. 
                                  Samuel Smiles







There is one piece of advice, in a life of study... and that is, every now and then to be completely idle - to do nothing at all.
Sydney Smith

Too shy to say,
but I hope you stay.

I love the quotes today and the face at the end. I think Pixie can teach us all how to do absolutely nothing and enjoy it.

Oh well, the Bible already said it: speak in comparisons, and the quotes will do their best again. Such a positive influence, fantastic.

Cloudia, your photos and words are excellent as always. I very much appreciate your kind words today and your linking up. I am sending you all of my best vibes as you deal with the illness of your spouse. Please take care of yourself as you navigate this journey.
