Just Think

 

 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Just think how happy

you would be if you lost

everything you have right now,

and then got it back again.

    Frances Rodman





If you have some respect 

for people as they are, 

you can be more effective 

in helping them to become 

better than they are.

                    John W. Gardner




Despair is the biggest 

mistake you can make. 


Don't spoil your 

moment in the sun. 


We all get worried 

from time to time, but 

Joy is the 

most important 

work we will ever do, 

the most important thing 

we will ever share.

Cloudia





Every time you remain calm 

ina challenging situation,

your calm super power 

grows.

Never Give That Minute Back

 

 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu


An early-morning walk is 

a blessing for the whole day.

Henry David Thoreau






Cormorants 
(family Phalacrocoracidae) 
 hold their wings open 
to dry in the sun
they lack the 
waterproofing oil of 
many other swimming birds. 





Given another shot at life, 
I would seize every 
minute of it … 
look at it and really see it … 
try it on … live it … 
exhaust it … 
and never give 
that minute back 
until there was 
nothing left of it.
  
        Erma Bombeck

Even A Smile

 

 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu


Rainbows introduce us to 
reflections of different 
beautiful possibilities so 
we never forget that 
pain and grief are not the 
final options in life.                  
    Aberjhani





Remember,

the best way to
resist darkness is to
shine your own light.
Be the kindness
that defies negativity.  
     Mattie Stepanek







Even a smile is a good deed. Shari Arison

Pick Your Poison

In tourist town,
we drink with flair—
More fruit than booze,
but who’s to care?
A pineapple, with straw
and umbrella,
Winks, “You look thirsty,
my sunburnt fella.”

One Canoe


 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




One canoe

beneath the sun, a thousand paddles

rise as one. No shore beyond us

when we row with hope made real

in seeds we sow. We’ve quarreled long

and circled wide; tonight, we greet

a turning tide. Let joy be bread,

let promise mend— and none be left

behind again.

Cloudia Charters



You can’t go wrong with the use of red; every painting should have red in it. George De Groat




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

As We Are

  

A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu



Never be in a hurry; 
do everything quietly 
and in a calm spirit. 
Do not lose your inner peace 
for anything whatsoever, 
even if your whole world 
seems upset. 
Saint Francis de Sales







 The great person 

is one that does 

not lose the 

heart of a child.

                     Menicus




Out of difficulties grow miracles. Jean de La Bruyère



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

Because


 A  L  O  H  A 

From

What a wonderful

life I've had! I only wish I'd realized it

sooner. Colette






My grandmother
is over 80
and still doesn't
need glasses.
She drinks right
out of the bottle!

yourself, 
the whole world
accepts you.
