Micro Joys

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

We can make our own small efforts to make the world a better place, but we can't take the weight of world issues
on our shoulders.
Andrew     Link



Old homes! old hearts! 
Upon my soul forever
Their peace and gladness 
lie like tears and laughter.
Madison Cawein

 born on March 23, 1865



Micro joys are how we 
survive macro grief.
   Glo Atanmo





You are richer than you think. 
Celebrate this richness. 
Give as if you had 
inexhaustible wealth. 
This is called "kingly giving.
Jon Kabat-Zinn




When you’re spiraling about 
what could have been, 
you miss out on 
what is here now. 
Reflecting is a valuable practice. 
But ruminating  just wastes 
time and energy.

    Great thoughts today, Cloudia. I love the quote about micro joys and macro grief. I also like Pixie's co-authored words of wisdom. Great moon shot at the end with a lovely song played by moon beams dancing across the piano keys.

    Aloha, dear Cloudia,
    the saying "We can make our own small efforts..." perfectly captures what I often try to comfort myself with. You've also shown another lovely / wise selection of photos and quotes. Jay Shetty and Pixie are absolutely right in their opinion! Please give sweet Pixie a soft pat for me!
    If you want to see which birds we saw when we met up with David in Canada, you've come to the right place in my latest post. May be this is a micro joy for you?
    Warm winter greetings from Austria ❄️☃️, Traude
