Aloha & Welcome to the Beauty of
HAWAII

"The trouble with life isn't that there is no answer,
it's that there are so many answers."

Ruth Benedict



"Everything should be made as simple as possible,
but not simpler."

Einstein




"There is always some specific moment

when we realize our youth is gone;

but years after, we know it was much later."


Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960

Just being born an average person:
no wealth,
no connections,
no extraordinary talents,
no extraordinary luck,
is the greatest challenge,
and adventure
in the universe.


What do YOU think?

    Ruth is correct.
    Many answers And to know the nearest correct one is called awareness.

    I think I needed to see this. I've been thinking I'm old for quite a while, and I'll bet I'm not.

    Right? :-)

    It's good to be average :) As I approach my 60th birthday the adventure is continuing and always surprising me.

    Aloha my friend.

    trying to be a good person in this world of excess is pretty tough. I'll say that.

    Life itself is the adventure, do't you think?

    I like the saying about youth being gone much later than we think. I know mine is gone, definitely, or is it?
    Ever?

    Life is only beatiful with "more love". I know it and always say it, only big prescription...

    Aloha sister!

    Rhapsodiasical! What a great word! You need to copyright that one. Back from almost two weeks away.. and in the very slow process of catching up.

    Being average gives me something to strive for AND a rest from striving.
    Aloha, my friend!

    wow I can relate so much to this post. Those 3 quotes are very thought provoking. I like the idea of there being so many possible answers to all of our questions. I used to struggle a lot more with decision making but I am better at just making my move and learning from the good, and the bad that may come from those choices.

    Thanks for being such a great bloggy friend, your posts are always so thoughtful.

    Sending you a big hug from sunny socal!

    Being ordinary is an adventure. Because it can be so decent and fulfilling to share the road with so many kindred spirits!

    For me a single answer would be enough, hearing that it is "worth". Thank you for lifting me up much during this night.

    Getting "older / oldish" is interesting, as I try to convince my younger co-workers. But they're really confused when I act younger than they...gotta keep the little kid in me popping up sometimes to keep them on their toes. One should not take themselves too seriously. DrumMajor

    My friend's daughter just moved to Hawaii this week so now I must pay more attention to your pics to see if once again you will capture someone I know.

    Being an ordinary person myself, I could agree with that.

    I can see you must be crusing on your bike all over the place.
