Cloudy Thinking

Aloha, Friend!
Welcome
to
Waikiki

Did you know that the first person to fly solo from Hawaii
to the continent (in 1935) was Amelia Earhart?


"It is very simple to be happy,
but it is very difficult to be simple."
Rabindranath Tagore



"Time might be a great healer- but it's a lousy beautician."
CoCo

"Clouds are such simple things,
nothing more than colloidal suspensions
of water droplets or ice crystals in air,
but they are the key to life outside the oceans.
Without clouds there is no rain,
and without rain
there is only arid land
where nothing lives."
Richard Brill


ALOHA, cloudia

I wonder at times why we as a species find it so hard to be simply happy?

I've always loved clouds and rain. I'm a southern boy with a seattle mindset.

Hola Amiga!

I was due for a visit! These are great pictures. I love the surfboard and someday I hope to make it to waikiki. I spent a week in Kauai but that's all I know.

Also love your quote, it is very simple to be happy. (sometimes!! :)

My daughter often comments on clouds, something she likes to paint, and all the colors she sees. I see white, she sees more.
