Happiness can grow
from only a little
contentment.
Pygmy Proverb


Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. Leo F. Buscaglia



You build a successful life a day at a time. Lou Holtz

Pixie looks overwhelmed by Super Cat who is able to leap over a city full of skyscrapers in a single bound! Great post. Love the quotes and the pictures. Orchids are a favorite.

At least it isn't Pixie pretending to be Superman.

A laugh or smile is a good thing. Covid destroyed humanity in our country we now avoid people contact, don't even call on the phone, just message. It is sad and isolating. It also has made crime rise as people don't know what to do with other people or how to treat them. It is very sad.

Isn't AI fantastic sometimes? Love the first picture, Cloudia. And the photo of Pixie is certainly different today. She's a love!

What a great photo of the cat following the rainbow across the sky. While I expect some photo magic was used, it doesn't matter. Great shot.
