Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty if only we have the eyes to see them. John Ruskin

I feel there's a halo

around me, a

constant sunshine

wherever I go.

Vicky Kaushal

The duty of happiness 

becomes clearer 

when we see how

it affects others.

 It is the merry heart

 that makes . . . 

other hearts merry. 

The sunny soul 

brings sunshine

 everywhere. 

A bright and 

happy temperament

 is a great social asset, 

adding to the happiness 

of the world. 

   Hugh Black

You are never alone There is a warmth Remaining always, a quiet hand resting beneath perception Until you begin to notice. Your body the faithful friend has carried you through every dark Never asking why. Even now it leans toward you Ever faithful Chanting We will stay. So come Lay your hand on your own heart. Feel how it answers back. This is your first friend. Until the end. Loving you all along. Cloudia Charters

One of the most tragic
things I know about
human nature is that
all of us tend to
put off living.

The past is just a fleeting dream, Future a distant wavering beam. Here we stand where time aligns, It is in the present that magic shines. Cloudia Charters

For the wise it is easy

to go anywhere.

Because the whole world is

home for a good soul.

No one else can make you happy.

Happiness is the result of

love coming out of you.

This is the Mastery of Love.

Pictorial Tuesday 

"Kealakekua" 

Our first home in Hawaii

was a Kona Coffee shack 

in Kealakekua. We drove off road

through the coffee trees.

Coffee flowers are white.

The coffee cherries containing

the beans are shiny red.

It rains every afternoon

on the mountain slopes

of Kona on Hawaii Island,

Life smiles at you
when you are happy; But
life salutes you when
you make others happy.

Doing all with love Not stress, A life in grace Quietly blessed.

Sometimes adversity is

what you need to face

in order to become successful.

to speak to you.

The darkest night is
often the bridge
to the brightest
tomorrow.
Jonathan L. Huie

There will always be
a glimmer in those
who have been
through the dark.
Atticus

Funny faces, belly laughs,
and a million inside jokes.
Thanks for being my pal.
If you judge our friendship by
the faces we made here
it’s probably a comedy.
Francy & Bert

You can accomplish
by kindness
what you cannot
by force

Saturday Critters

May the quiet of dawn 

remind you that 

every breath 

is a beginning.

Peace blooms 

where hope is tended.

Morning carries blessings 

unseen but deeply felt.

Hope rises like light 

across the horizon, 

forgiving the shadows

leaving them behind.

In the hush before sunrise, 

may your heart find its 

way home to calm.

Each dawn is fresh

 you are still becoming.
Let today arrive softly, 

wrapped in the blessings 

of love, peace, and promise.
