" There are times, 

like after a 

long day of work, 

when the thought 

of an easy 

drive-through 

is enticing. 

But then I remember 

how crappy I felt 

when I ate fast food 

in the past, 

and it inspires me 

to head to the grocery store 

or my local farmer's market 

and whip up an easy 

but healthier option. "

" The hardest thing 

to see 

is what is 

in front of 

your eyes. "

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 

But always home,

sweet home,

to Waikiki

My formula 

for living 

is quite simple. 

I get up 

in the morning 

and I go to bed 

at night. 

In between, 

I occupy myself 

as best I can. "

Pales in Comparison

A  L  O  H  A

" Whatever you are

 by nature, 

keep to it; 

never desert 

your line of 

talent.

Be what nature

 intended you for 

and you will 

succeed. "

Sydney Smith
English essayist (1771 - 1845)

" What lies behind you -

- and what lies 

in front of you, 

pales in comparison 

to what lies 

inside of you. "

Ralph Waldo Emerson

good things 
from the treasury of 
a good heart -"

Any Fool Can

A  L  O  H  A !

Island Afternoon

“Any fool can 
criticize, condemn, 
and complain 
but it takes 
character 
and self control 
to be understanding 
and forgiving.”

"It’s really easy 

to complain. 

If you’re not 

careful, 

then you end up 

complaining 

about your 

whole life.

Concentrating on 

the good things 

is really good. 

Catch people 

doing good. "

Lisa Williams

That sums up

how I feel.

Listening

to a person's 

story

is important,

and healing.

But getting 

stuck

in the

story

is never good.

Live new stories

today;

be interested

in others.

I love Honolulu!
Yesterday, I shopped 
in some Korean 
boutiques,
and got to use my limited
Korean to be polite.
Then a couple
at the next shop
was talking to me
in Spanish.
We are multi-lingual
and there are plenty
of flavors
here!
