Big Sky, Little Red Surf Board"When your kids are young, your reactions help shape how they perceive their experiences - whether they're going to feel good or bad about what just happened. You're the sculptor of their emotional lives. We tend to tell toddlers 'No, no no' all the time. My work made me think that there needs to be more playfulness in my parenting, more emphasis on stepping back and following the child's interests."
Barbara Fredrickson
Let the child in you run free today!

Trippy Man!
ReplyDeleteAnd in me too please
ReplyDeleteGosh that looks like hotels all the way down the beach to the edge of Diamond Head. What a wonderful beach to be ruined if those are hotels. There was a time when there was a large hotel -- Royal Hawaiian -- at one end and it is still there and that was all, except there were some across the street and I have stayed in those.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised if those really are hotels on the old beach at Waikiki, that Honolulu doesn't have some kind of zoning laws to protect places like that.

ReplyDeleteI blush to tell you that yes, they are hotels. the ones at the foot of Diamond Head are shocking, but all in all it's the golden beach town that folks seem to enjoy with plenty of food, Drinks and shopping near at hand.
You are blessed to remember a quieter and I think more gracious time. Thanks lots for visiting today! Aloha, Friend
I love today's photos, Cloudia, and your quotes are especially good. I liked the one on Wednesday slipping away and the one on being a playful parent.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter's here with her baby and I just read that quote to her. :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful post as always.
ReplyDeleteLovely set of images. The sky shots are fantastic.
ReplyDeletePlay is almost always the best way to learn anything.
ReplyDeleteLet the child in you run free today...and naked!
ReplyDeletehello from the great state of Alabama. Hope all is well, and I never grew up, never plan to, I conform enough to society to keep my head above water. ;) Aloha pretty lady.
ReplyDeleteThe child in me loves to run free but sometimes grinds to a halt!
ReplyDeleteI love the quote about art. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThe barrels don't do it for me, but the cones, ah, that's another matter entirely... but I never stole one!
ReplyDeleteI really like the Sy Safransky quote. I think I could sit on Waikiki beach and watch impermanence slip by.
ReplyDeleteI think I might turn on the sprinklers and run through them. Just to be 8 again...
