As you heal, I hope that
you revisit the story that
you tell yourself, and others,
about who you are.
I hope your story of self is
rooted in self-acceptance.
I hope you realize that you've
always been doing the
best you could with the level
of understanding that
you had at the time.
I hope you remember
that your story is
still being written, and
you're holding the pen.

Art project or meal?
Both!
Tiny mouths working
the green away,
leaving only lace
on display.
Skeleton leaves,
nature’s quiet script
beauty and tragedy
sailing the same ship.
The smallest creatures
take their part,
and call what’s left
a masterpiece
of Art!

I’ve made it to 100,
in no small part, because
I have stubbornly refused to
give in to the bad stuff
about aging. Instead, I have
been in a full-on bear hug
with the experience of living.

100 on December 13
& Still Having Fun!

ReplyDeleteHi Pixie!
ReplyDeleteHello, Cloudia
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words and photos.
I love the first scene and the rainbow.
Pixie is always adorable.
Take care, have a great day and happy week ahead.
As soon and I read “I made it to 100,” I checked further down to see if it was DVD.
ReplyDelete...somethings I remember and some I don't.
ReplyDeleteThere was a lot I needed to read in today's post. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteA post that touched me today, Cloudia. Be well. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAlways wonderful posts. I love the quote. Also that photo of the troops. Have a great day today.
ReplyDeleteYour photo of the chewed leaf and Pixie's words made magic for me today, Cloudia. Wonderful sentiments as always!
ReplyDeleteLovely rainbow.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised she was allowed a drink in formation. But I don't know anything about the military!
ReplyDeleteSending love to you and Pixie.
ReplyDeleteAloha! Namaste _/\_

Greetings from India
Dick Van Dyke looks like he's still enjoying life at 100. I'm glad you included that super quote by him. Give Pixie a pat for me, and happy T day.
ReplyDeleteYour cat is very pretty. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteLove Pixie and love Dick Van Dyke. He has the right attitude.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous day and week. Scritches to Pixie. ♥
Great quotes and the leaf would be fun to find once they leave if they leave behind the lace they've made. Thanks for visiting me. :)
ReplyDeletePixie makes for such beautiful photos with her coloring. Having a black cat, it’s very hard to take a photo with detail and sometimes I just end up with big eyes looking at me. Our veterinarian pointed out that in certain light you can see that our cat has beautiful tabby coloring under the black, which is what most black cats have. But you can only see it in certain light.
ReplyDeletePalm trees, the beach. A little bit of heaven. Thanks for that as it's so cold here. Pixie looks so regal. Happy T Day
