Bubbles huddle On liquid skies, Tiny worlds In bright disguise. Floating lightly On mirrored dreams, Whispered secrets In their gleams. Cloudia Charters

Perfect imperfections are what the World sees as flaws in you but not realizing those very elements are what define your unique authenticity.

You make your life hard

by always being

in your head.

Life is simple,

get out of your head

and get into the moment.

Sylvester  McNutt

I follow three rules:

Do the right thing,

do the best you can, and

always show people you care.

Nothing More Than Feelings

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

Catch on fire with 

enthusiasm 

and people will 

come for miles 

to watch you

 burn.  

John Wesley

There is evidence that as 

we become less exposed 

to opposing viewpoints, 

we become less 

logically competent 

as people.

Arthur C. Brooks

Tropical Hibiscus

Hybrid cultivar of the species 

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 

 To see a world 

in a grain of sand 

and heaven in

a wild flower 

Hold infinity in the 

palm of your hand

and eternity

 in an hour. 

  William Blake 

Let everything happen to you

Beauty and terror

Just keep going

No feeling is final.

 Rainer Maria Rilke

Empty Full

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

In all things in nature

there is something 

of the marvelous. 

Aristotle

Though I have grown older, my heart remains youthful. Within our souls, we are all the same age. I recognize that this stage of life is perfect—each passing year holds unique value. Never lament aging; it is a privilege denied to many.

Richard Gere 76 years

None are so empty as those who are

full of themselves. 

Benjamin Whichcote

Even when you're

feeling rather small

Remember the best

Part of you

Is really BIG 

after all!

 A true friend laughs at your stories

even when they're not so good

and sympathizes with your troubles

even when they're not so bad.

I have reached an age 

where if someone tells me 

to wear socks, I don't have to.

*   When I was growing up in Philadelphia, Einstein had recently been at Princeton and had visited relatives in our area. Many people still remarked that he didn't wear socks! These were very conformist times, and the lesson I learned was that ideas and genius are more important than what we choose to put on our feet, and that it is okay to be unconventional. I like to claim Einstein for my quirks!

[ Of which I confess many, Pixie is definitely the genius in THIS operation! ]

Think Of It As Expanding

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

The art of being happy

lies in the power of

extracting happiness

from common things.

    Henry Ward Beecher

You cannot do a kindness

too soon for you never know how soon it will be too late. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Trust the unfolding of your life. Many seasons will feel disorienting, but when the dust settles, you'll realize that you weren't being torn to pieces-you were expanding.

Help Is Hope

A L O H A  From

Life smiles at you when you are happy; But life salutes you when you make others happy. Charlie Chaplin

What wisdom can you find 

 that is greater

 than kindness? 

  Jean-Jacques Rousseau

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.

       Maya Angelou

Where there is help, 

there is hope.

No Good Deed Goes Unrewarded

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

The early morning

has gold in its mouth. Benjamin Franklin

Another reason

to rise again

Some believe it is only

great power that can

hold evil in check, but

that is not what I have found.

It is the small everyday deeds

of ordinary folk that keep

the darkness at bay.

Small acts of kindness 

and love.

   Tolkien

Today is going to 

be a great day!

Don't worry about 

the worst. 

Expect the best! 

You will be right 99+% 

of the time!
