Quotes for the moment:

🏵️ August is the slow, gentle month that stretches out the longest across the span of a year. It yawns and lingers on with the light in its palms. Victoria Erickson, contemporary American author and poet

🌞 Live in the sunshine. Swim in the sea. Drink in the wild air. Ralph Waldo Emerson, 19th century American philosopher and poet

💝 I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear. Martin Luther King, Jr. 20th century American civil rights activist

💗 Start by doing what’s necessary, then do what’s possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible. St. Francis of Assisi, 12th century Italian mystic and poet

💜 Peace is not something you wish for. It is something you make, something you do, something you are, and something you give away. Robert Fulghum, contemporary American author

As always, feel free to forward this to anyone who may appreciate it. Today, and always, I send blessings of love and laughter to all!! May you all stay safe, healthy and well!

Mahalo,

Annette 😇
