Practical Simple

There is only one success-
-to be able to spend your life
in your own way.
Christopher Morley




We must not allow the 
clock and the calendar to 
blind us to the fact that 
each moment of life is 
a miracle and mystery.
             H. G. Wells







Giving love to others
and not expecting it back
is also a form of self-love.

What is possible? 
The practical, simple and kind. 
We work, love and help others 
as best we can, gawk at nature, 
rest. Is that it? Pretty much...
age teaches us that kind, simple and practical are enough, 
even in the face of the worst.
Anne Lamott

Greenest I've seen Diamond Head! I'm trying to figure out the cable loop; is it fully cut? Pixie is tuckered with her little pink toe beans. Beautiful hibiscus, sigh. Linda in Kansas

Loving Pixie's sweet toe beans, so nice and clean. Cats are such pristine little friends.
