Esprit Waves

Life is beautiful
and meaningful indeed. I took pleasure when I could. I acted clearly and morally and without regret. I am very lucky. Always keep your smile. That's how I explain my long life. Jeanne Louise Calment *

The only 
impossible journey
is the one 
you never begin.

Puppy bounds through 
waves of glee,
Tail a flag 
of happy esprit.
In his romp, 
pure joie de vivre!

We don't even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward. The human capacity for survival and renewal is awesome. Isabel Allende

I love the first picture, and the quote by Jean Louise Calment. Pixie's poem about the puppy is wonderful.

I love seeing dogs run in parks. Sometimes there are dog gatherings in parks and it is terrific to see them all romping, playing and chasing around. Pure pleasure for them.

Aloha Cloudia and Pixie, your first words are a lovely reminder, and it makes me think, yes, and yes and also life is messy, and confusing, and giving and inspiring and of all the words in our English language life can be so many meanings and they often differ on any given day for me. Hugs to a wonderful day to you.
