Brave And Beautifully Imperfect

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

If you do 

good things for people, 

it will never stop

 making you feel 

good about yourself.

                         David Letterman





Humility is just the ability or the willingness to learn. Charlie Sheen




God's extraordinary work 
is most often done 
by ordinary people 
in the seeming obscurity 
of a home and family. "
                      Neal A. Maxwell




I have studied 
many philosophers
and many cats. The
wisdom of cats is
infinitely superior. 
    Hippolyte Taine




Linking To
Monday Murals

As the lunar year approaches 

and the lion waits 
behind the curtain, 
I remember: renewal is 
noisy, brave, and 
beautifully imperfect.

Let the old year carry away 
what no longer serves you, 
so the new year finds you 
light and unburdened.

Standing at the gate 
of the lunar year, 
I bow to what has been, 
and open both hands 
to what may come.
Cloudia & Pixie

David has pushed his luck many many times over the years.

Great captures today. I love the quote from Hippolyte Taine (partly because he has such a snazzy name). Pixie looks like she loves the quote, too. I am getting ready for the Year of the Fire Horse, too, and new beginnings. Great thoughts from you and Pixie about the coming lunar new year.
