Decide

A L O H A From Honolulu!

It was only a sunny smile,
and little it cost in the giving,
but like morning light
it scattered the night
and made the day
worth living.
  F. Scott Fitzgerald




 The doors we open
and close each day decide the lives we live. Flora Whittemore



For fog was merely a cloud
that wasn’t too
smitten with itself
to visit terra firma.
Jan Karon



A Stand of Plumeria/Frangipani Trees
There is nothing more beautiful than nature early in the morning. Vincent Van Gogh



 Anyone who keeps
learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young. Henry Ford

Cure The Wounding

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Every circumstance in life,
no matter how 
crooked and distorted and
ugly it  appears to be,
if it is reacted to in
love and forgiveness 
can be transformed.
     Hannah Hurnard


I have many problems in life.
But my lips don’t know that.
They always smile. 
  Charlie Chaplin




A smile cures the
wounding of a frown.
 William Shakespeare








When you are full of love,
it confuses those who
are full of nonsense.

Eggplant To The Moon

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Just stop for a minute 
and you'll realize you're
happy just being.

 I think it's the pursuit
that screws up happiness.

 If we drop the pursuit,
it's right here. 
James Hillman




So, you're telling me that
every time you thought you couldn't
get through something difficult,
you did. And now,
you're back here
thinking you won't succeed?
Trust your track record, my friend.
       Vex King






In a garden green
Where the veggies all bloom,  
One had grown to the 
Size of a small town saloon.

An eggplant named Edgar
Who longed to go fast  
Declared, “I’m a rocket!
I'm leaving at last!”
His friends in the patch
All cheered

And they clapped, 
The day that Edgar 
Prepared to be zapped!

“Four, three, two, one
Blast off!” he exclaimed,  
And up through the sky
That aubergine flamed.  

With a whoosh and a roar
He soared through the night,  
The first veggie-shaped rocket,
what a ridiculous sight!
  
So next time you see
An eggplant in bloom,  
Remember, they may dream
Of the stars and the moon!






Our entire life … 
consists ultimately in 
accepting ourselves 
as we are.
              Jean Anouih

The Point

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Those who dwell among the
beauties and mysteries of
the earth are never alone
or weary of life.
Rachel Carson



Even a smile
is a good deed.
 Shari Arison





Smile to the future and
it will smile back to you.
Yoko Ono



 The point of living
and of being an optimist, is to be foolish enough to believe the best is yet to come. Peter Ustinov

Angel Love Beacon

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Angel love beacon
Our guiding light,
Dispelling darkness
Turning things right.




Indiscernible
Yet calming embrace
Your shield of protection
A sacred space.




Through trial, tribulation,
challenge and test,
Tired, tried, uncertain 
But blessed.



For in our love So pure and deep, Bond unbroken Through the promises We keep. Cloudia Charters


Wake Me Wednesday
Remember, the best way to
resist darkness is to
shine your own light.
Be the kindness
that defies negativity.
