Your Peace of Mind

Depends on 1 person; 

YOU.

No one

can give it

to you.

So

Claim it fiercely

Hold it calmly

Refuse to let it 

Go.

It is in your

Grasp

IF 

You Decision

and Dare "

 of dangerous 

and noble things. -
I want to be light

What a Smashing Elephant! (Thanks, Wikipedia)

He's helping the WWI effort in Great Britain.

(Their circus jobs were on-hold)

Perhaps YOU'd like to blog about this episode in history

in order to tell a family member's exploits wrangling such

elephants. BUT there are NO family pictures of Gertrude

delivering milk in the village by drawing a cart driven by

Uncle Horace. What to do?  

Did YOU know that even an

innocent, doddering, harmless, non-commercial blogger

like me could be SUED in COURT by the owner of an

image I unknowing use without permission?

Is that what's troubling YOU, Bunky?

WELL HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH!

 (If you are NOT laughing,

then click on the little player above the elephant's pic)

GOOGLE has a wonderful new feature

 in Google Image Search:

Usage Rights 

is now a search category,

 everything from No such filter to 

"You can use this commercially

 and even put a mustache on it

 and NO ONE cares

 legally." 

If you did get sued, 

I assume Google would

be your fellow defendant.

 Nice cell to be in!

Here is another such Site

I use for image searches,

Sun Shines Brightest After a Night in Jail

A   L   O   H   A !

" Live each 

season

 as it passes;

 breathe the air,

 drink the drink,

 taste the fruit, and

 resign yourself

 to the influences

 of each. "

Henry David Thoreau

If you ever spent a night in jail

even years ago

I bet you understood today's

title immediately.

This morning, I left my apt

for the first time in, days,

many days - that's all I can

definitively say.

It was the first day I could

imagine seeing another person,

or having THEM see me!

I hid behind sunglasses, under a helmet,

wore my gloves, and rode my scooter

to the post office, my usual morning 

WALK.

What a kick!

And, you know, 

Waikiki REALLY is

beautiful!

Though I have a dynamite view,

and a lanai (balcony)

there is something WONDERFUL

about moving through space!

I'm back in bed, now

surrounded by mail,

coloring outside the lines and avoiding

house work. I want to go back out there

sometime!

I'm getting better.

How's Your Thing going?

                              Fondly, cloudia

Someday, when I'm a Super-Ager

(100+) I think I'll enjoy getting about

with my levitation scooter. . . .
