Welcome to Monday in Waikiki,
Friend!

Morning Moon"Celebrity is just obscurity
biding it's time."
Carrie Fisher
Purring Ripples, Barking Sparkles"Life happens too fast for you to ever to think about it. If you could just persuade people of this, but they insist on amassing information."
Kurt Vonnegut
Jolly Jelly Fish"Many people try to run away from their inner loneliness.
They do not know how to be alone. They do anything to escape being alone. They are always on the go; they are always doing something. To live meaningfully, we must master one of the fine arts of life -
learning how to be alone without being lonely."
Paul Osumi

We are magnets
We attract what we love
or hate
or obsess about.
Complaints always worsen
a situation.
What we focus on
always grows.
Imagination
is stronger than will
and always wins.
Will power is just for
short bursts.
Imago is our creative force.
Without feeling
nothing occurs.
Emotion is the energy
that causes the thought
to happen.
These rules are the difference
between being a dreamer
and a visionary.
Nonresistance
frees the
magic.
ALOHA, cloudia
Aloha Cloudia!

I like these words, Cloudia; hard to keep actions congruent with them, and I still like these words.
ReplyDeleteHow important then to focus on those things which are of true beauty and meaning - and fun!
ReplyDeleteLearn to live alone without being lonely..wow!Jelly fish looks pretty.
ReplyDelete..be alone without being lonely..that's what i can do..
ReplyDeleteGreat words. I like Carrie Fisher's quote.
ReplyDeleteI love the morning moon and its secrets, Cloudia. Thanks for something terrific at the start of my day.
ReplyDeleteJolly jellyfish? Have you ever had the DISpleasure of meeting on up close and personally? Not so jolly.
ReplyDeleteLove all the photos!
xo Aloha!
Good quotes today Cloudia. :)
ReplyDeletePerhaps one of the most important lessons one learns in life is that of being happy to be alone with oneself. Would you agree?
ReplyDeleteThe eagle flies alone, raven in droves;
ReplyDeletesociety needs the fool, and loneliness the wise.
Great blog! I connected through another blog.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of your post was
What we focus on
always grows.
Imagination
is stronger than will
and always wins.
I really connect with that.
Thanks for sharing.
The jelly fish may be jolly, not so their victims, Sister.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Weaver.
Thank you EACH!
Aloha-
I think the jellyfish are beautiful creatures but their stingers not so beautiful. Great post Cloudia, beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful...! Oh, goodness and how true. ...be alone without being lonely. I work in a busy, noisy environment and I cherish my solitude.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos -- like a mini Hawaiian vacation. :-)
I love your quotes - I will steal them and use some in my classroom. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteNice quotes there! And beautiful photo with the moon!
ReplyDeleteBtw, thanks for dropping by my blog and correcting my English! So you are a freelance writer! Cool! : )
Sometimes I think I am TOO good at being alone. I can incline towards being a hermit with my dog and my books!
ReplyDeleteI have always enjoyed alone time, which wasn't easily accomplished with five children! They are all grown now and I have to say I enjoy being alone very much. But creative types must be alone with their own thoughts, it's crucial to our creative process. Great post, Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you folks came visiting! Thanks!
