How You Do It

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
There are two things 
a person should never 
be angry at, what 
they can help, and 
what they cannot.
      Plato




Kindness is the sunshine 
in which virtue grows.
        Robert Green Ingersoll


Your mission on this earth is 2% WHAT you do, 98% HOW YOU DO IT.


What matters is
that we let our lives
be guided by Love.

Brave And Beautifully Imperfect

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

If you do 

good things for people, 

it will never stop

 making you feel 

good about yourself.

                         David Letterman





Humility is just the ability or the willingness to learn. Charlie Sheen




God's extraordinary work 
is most often done 
by ordinary people 
in the seeming obscurity 
of a home and family. "
                      Neal A. Maxwell




I have studied 
many philosophers
and many cats. The
wisdom of cats is
infinitely superior. 
    Hippolyte Taine

As the lunar New year approaches 

and the lion waits 
behind the curtain, 
I remember: renewal is 
noisy, brave, and 
beautifully imperfect.

Let the old year carry away 
what no longer serves you, 
so the new year finds you 
light and unburdened.

Standing at the gate 
of the lunar year, 
I bow to what has been, 
and open both hands 
to what may come.

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U


Every positive thought 
is a silent prayer
which will 
change your life.
     Bryant McGill








 The snow goose 
need not bathe 
to make itself white. 
Neither need you 
do anything 
but be yourself.
            Lao Tzu







There is no formula for success except, perhaps, an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings. Arthur Rubinstein 




We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today. Dale Carnegie

If

 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu

If you come at four 
in the afternoon, 
I'll begin to be 
happy by three. 
      Antoine de Saint-Exupéry








If you fill yourself up 
from the days beginning 
with beautiful things that you notice, 
that you appreciate, that have 
real value to you, 
there will be no room for
lesser emotions to intrude. 







Morning is the dream renewed,
the heart refreshed, earth's
forgiveness painted in
the colors of the dawn.
   Kent Nerburn








There is no snooze button on
a cat who wants breakfast.

There is nothing better than

to be happy and enjoy ourselves

as long as we can. And people

should eat and drink and enjoy

the fruits of their labor, for

these are gifts from God.

To listen to stars and birds, 
babes and sages, 
with open heart;
To let the spiritual, 
unbidden and unconscious,
 grow up through the common-
-this is my symphony.

1810 - 1884

Let's Get Small

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

Don't seek to be happy:

let everyone else chase
after that rainbow.
Seek to be kind, and
you’ll find the rainbow
follows you.
  Richelle E. Goodrich  







Close friends are 

truly life's treasures








In true love the 

smallest distance is 

too great . . .



 . . . and the 

greatest distance 

can be bridged.

    Unknown


No need to hurry, 

no need to sparkle, 

no need to be 

anybody but oneself.

     Virginia Woolf


Be yourself; 

everyone else 

is already taken.

Beautiful Destinations

 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu

 The sky 

is the daily bread 

of the eyes. 

Ralph Waldo Emerson







Red-crested Cardinal
(Paroaria coronata)
 Self-pity 
gets you nowhere. One must 
have the adventurous daring 
to accept oneself as a 
bundle of possibilities and 
undertake the most 
interesting game in 
the world - making the 
most of one's best.
                   Harry Emerson Fosdick 




The work of the 

mature person is to 

carry grief in one hand 

and gratitude in the other.

Francis Weller






It seems to me

that our most 

enduring loyalties

are to those

who have treated us

with kindness. . .
