If you would attain to what you are not yet, you must always be displeased by what you are. For where you are pleased with yourself there you have remained. Keep adding, keep walking, keep advancing. Saint Augustine
Cute cat! Is that a stray cat? Where was it taken?
The quote reminds me of a Chinese proverb: Learning is like rowing a boat upsteams. If you don’t go forward, you’ll fall backwards.
what a beautiful cat…. and wise advice from st. augustine!!!!
There it is! My mission statement … along with a kitty that wants me to pet it. I love to meet new cats and use ‘kitty talk’ to draw them in. I like to make the mew and trill of a mama cat.
Air – pictured is a cat I saw while out on a walk around the neighborhood. Sweet kitty, let me pet it and take it’s photo! Off to row I go!
Pretty pic and a good quote. Ol’ Augustine surely had plenty of experience of “going backward” in his life and seems very unsatisfied with his place in the order of things for a while.
As we grow older, we are more concerned with doing something meaningful with our lives. It’s the prospect of the nearing of the end of our time that does that, I think.
Love the kitty! If ever there were creatures who are pleased with themselves, it’s cats!
… keep dreaming.
Nice cat to attract my attention to the great sidewalk, steps and hint of a door. I love the crumbly part at the left edge of the first step there. If it’s not constructing it’s destructing. I like both.
kitty kitty!
Wonderful quote!
God, I love that photo!
Hiya… Reminds me of a bit by TS Eliot, but then he was a fan of St Augustine, so that may explain it. Nice pic! pussycat! Mo
Oooh, this looks like it could be an impressionist painting. Nice.

what a sweet kitty, begging for me to pet it….
I wish more people would heed Augustine’s wisdom. I like airchild’s contribution, too.
Saint Augustine is sometimes thought of as one of the first existentialists.
