Aloha Thursday


A  L  O  H  A !
" It is only

  in an atmosphere 

 of quiet 

 that true joy 

 dare live. "
Bertrand Russell










  “ Sometimes being a friend 

 means mastering the art 

 of timing. -







- There is a time for silence.

 A time to let go 

 and allow people 

 to hurl themselves 

 into their own destiny.

  And a time to prepare 

 to pick up the pieces 

 when it's all over.”
 Gloria Naylor 


Ah! The "original"

Thank You!

    Yeah, letting go is hard, since we can't fix everyone's stuff.

    Okay, I got the coffee. The eyeballs say those are purple leaves. Brain is struggling, since I'm not doing all those cute things I did in the '60s/'70s. The pink hotel I understand.
    Aloha for the spin. DrumMajor
