true happiness

When are we truly happy?

I like the way this unknown author tells us what true happiness is. That it "comes from the feeling that our soul is expanding, that we are learning and applying something new that brings us closer to God."

The photo is a colorful butterfly as it softly alights on a leaf during its early morning round.

everyone is like a butterfly

This quote from Drew Barrymore is simply perfect for this photo of a butterfly emerging from what remains of its pupa. I took this photo from a butterfly garden in Malaysia.

We can take heart from this quote as it makes us hopeful that we can indeed emerge as a beautiful butterfly.
