Javas

A L O H A  From

Put your thoughts
to sleep, do not let them cast a shadow over the moon of your heart. Let go of thinking. Rumi



Who suffers
before it is necessary,
suffers more
than is necessary. Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Don't fall before
you are punished.
Olde English proverb



I drop kindness pebbles in still water everyday, and I watch the effect they have on other people’s lives. My favorite kindness pebbles are compliments. Drop a compliment and watch the ripple affect that it has in your life. John A Passaro




High and fine literature is wine, and mine is only water; but everybody likes water. Mark Twain

Pixie has so many looks.
A friend used to keep Java finches. They are nice birds.

Pebbles of kindness. 👍

The kindness pebbles is so true. Mom tries to always say something complimentary or uplifting to people as it makes them smile and feel better no matter what kind of a day they are having.

Martha Jane Orlando said...

I believe that showing kindness toward others is life-giving to all. Love the quote my Twain, too, Cloudia. Blessings!

These reflections together remind us of that gentleness in thought, in patience, and in the small kindnesses we offer, can steady the heart far more than worry ever will

Rumi says to let go of thinking, but I have problems stilling my mind.

Cloudia said...

It won't be stilled just detach yourself from it and let it go on its way.

Teresa said...

I love the shots of Pixie and the woman running on the beach. Thanks for making me smile every day.

Michelle said...
