Don't worry About Lesser Things. Just Keep Rising.

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
There is only one way 
to happiness 
and that is to 
cease worrying 
about things which are 
beyond 
our control.
            Epictetus






Every year of my life 
I grow more convinced
that it is wisest and best
to fix our attention 
on the beautiful and
good, and dwell as
little as possible on 
               the dark and the base.          
        Richard Cecil  





Secret To Longevity: Eat your vegetables, have a positive outlook, be kind to people, and smile. Kamada Nakazato, Okinawan centenarian




We shall find that the
spheres God brings us into
are not meant to teach us
something but to
make us something. Oswald Chambers

    Pixie looks like she's questioning the wisdom of the quote above her to eat more vegetables. "Only if it's catnip," she meows... cool post today.

    Love the leaf imprints...whether the matrix is sand or concrete! Have a great Tuesday!

    How can one both eat their veggies and keep a positive attitude? The two things seem antithetical to me.

    Kidding … sort of.

    Someone needs to take that second quote to the news media. They thrive on the bad and the ugly. Wouldn't it be nice to have news that focuses on the good that happened during the day and all the positives instead of the terrible horrible stuff? No wonder people are not happy. We prefer positive at our house.

    Epictetus knew the secret to happiness all those centuries ago.

    Ripple with no logical end about kindness is a great quote. Love the flowers too and the leaf imprint. Nice to see you stopped by my blog. Hugs to you and Pixie.
