Welcomed

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
The charm of fishing is 

that it is the pursuit of 

what is elusive but attainable, 

a perpetual series of 

occasions for hope.

   John Buchan





When it rains,

look for rainbows. 

When it’s dark, 

look for stars.
 
    Oscar Wilde










Smile at strangers 

and you just might 

change a life.

    Steve Maraboli





The music is not 

in the notes, but in 

the silence between.

Mozart






I have arrived,

 I am home In the here, 

in the Now 

I am solid, I am free 

In the ultimate I dwell

Thích Nhất Hạnh

Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia

There are few things

 in life more heartwarming 

than to be welcomed 

by a cat.

I love the pictures of the woman smiling and of the colored dog. Pixie looks surprised at the thought of a pink puppy, though. I am smiling from looking at her expression.

Pixie is baffled by that dog.

My cat Jass it welcoming to visitors, but not so much to me daily.

I love the quote from Oscar Wilde, Cloudia. Pixie is always so welcoming, too!

I don’t have a smile like that, I’m afraid.

...how I miss Hawaii, it's frigid here this morning.

I'm aghast at the colorful dog...and feel sorry for it. But I guess it's owner is still loving and it is appreciated. I'm so glad Pixie came with her colorful palette originally!

Cloudia said...

Thanks friends!

Looking for stars as it is too cold for rain here, Cloudia. ;-)

What a beautiful, peaceful post! I love how your words carry hope, joy, and quiet wisdom all at once. Do Pixie and Cloudia take pleasure in participating in these contemplative mornings with you, or do they also challenge you? I hope your weekend is filled with little smiles, soft purrs, and moments of calm. You're welcome to take a peek at my latest travel post on www.melodyjacob.com.
