Fountain


  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Rainbows are made
of small raindrops.
Happy lives are made
from acts of kindness
Amit Ray



The heart once burdened now takes flight Embraced by quiet inner light. Cloudia




When setting out on a journey, do not seek advice from those who have never left home. Rumi



Pink Shrub Rose

Perhaps the most comforting thing about growing old gracefully is the increasing ability not to take things too seriously. Henry Miller





A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles. Washington Irving

    Rumi got it right. We can apply that thought widely.

    I always love your rainbows, poems and quotes. Little known fact, Washington Irving toured Oklahoma (before it was Oklahoma) and passed within a few miles of my house (before there was a house.)

    Regardless if I mention it or not I continue to pray for you and your husband. Blessings.
    Would you mind praying for my wife, we were just informed that she has stage 3 lung cancer.
