Anyone, any situation, is bearable once you accept it as it is;

And the road to hell is paved with false dichotomies. . .

Cool stones. I didn't know THAT big of a chunk of coral could wash up on the beach! I like the true legend that mainlanders shouldn't take stone "pieces" of Hawaii home with them...or bad luck prevails, until they return or mail the snitched piece back.

I knew something was missing from my life these last few days. What's with Blogger??
I'm wondering what prompted you to pen these lines today...
Love the photos. Coral, really?!
Love wet beach stones. Always wondered if they had a name. Beach stones

It seems Blogger has these regular tantrums. I'm having a truckload of problems too. I just love that last photo. The colors are amazing. Aloha.

Hi Cloudia,

Blogger has you in there today! Love the coral and the beach stones, but especially the purple palm trees.

Hope your 4th was memorable.

You're back in my dashbooard. Good post. I love the idea of false dichotomies leading to hell. But perhaps more accurate, they are hell.

Aloha, Cloudia.

True, true, true. No challenge is insurmountable. Not really.

I will keep an eye on your blog. In fact, right now I will reload it on my blogroll and see if that makes a difference.

Wow, as always, wow. The top photo. False dichotomies.

1st & last photographs - Amazing.

Am I going to hell because I never met a dichotomy I didn't eat?

I've heard and used that quotation so many times, and never knew it was by Lord Byron. The other quotes are fab'. Thanks for all.

I'd love to live close enough to a beach to have a Sunday stroll there. Lovely photos as always Cloudia. x

I got onto the web today with much trepidation. Yesterday, I was not updating in readers; my sheduled posts haven't been posting for some time. So when I came here today and saw you lovely people my heart soared!

You folks are very special friends whose comments, and visits mean quite a lot to me. Thanks SO mush for your Aloha which has come to be such an important [part of my day.

And YOUR posts are of such quality that I feel warm and happy to be in a "party" of such talented and like-minded people.

You are all gifts and I NEVER take you for granted. Thank Awfully ;-)

A comment true for all of us, Cloudia.
I'm glad to be getting notified again by Blogger of your posts, each so different.

Hey pretty lady, glad nutso to the north did not fire his taepodongs at you on the fourth, hope you had a pleasant 4th with good friends, good food and good drink, perhaps some good Maui Wowie when no one was looking. ;) Aloha from the great state of Alabama
