2day

A  L  O  H  A !


"Happiness is not the absence of problems
but the ability to deal with them."

Montesquieu




"The unconscious will give you ideas
and it wants you to act on them.
The more courage you have when you act,
the more ideas it will give you."

Phil Stutz




"Follow your bliss
 and the universe will open doors
 for you where there were only walls."

 Joseph Campbell







"What a wee little part of a person's life 
are his acts and his words!
 His real life is led in his head,
and is known to none but himself."

Mark Twain







"He who knows best 
knows how little he knows."
Thomas Jefferson











“To every word of love I heard you whisper,

the raindrops seem to play

a sweet refrain.”

 

The Beatles


<()>



A myriad of bloggers
show and tell
the simple truths 
of our locales,
and the weather
of human souls.

A thousand lights,
MILLIONS!
Keeping the flame alive,
the flame of:
"This is who I am."
And how way YOUR day?

Together, 
you & I.

The Thomas Jefferson quote is so true about a lot of people that really don't have a clue. Colourful flower photos indeed :-).

Great quotes and please allow me to give you one of my favorites... "Peace is not the absence of conflict but the ability to deal with it."
Aloha, I do miss living in Hawaii but not enough to move back -smile-; I'm happy here.

I like the Mark Twain quote! Thanks for Tina's birthday wishes..we were sitting around the kitchen table with our laptops and cameras and experimenting with
very short video shots. This was shot with a Blackberry
....a bit fuzzy but the laugh was good!
