Neighborhood Waikiki

A  L  O  H  A !

All real works of art 
look as though they 
were done in joy.
           Robert Henri









One's pain is one's own creation. 
There is a Tibetan expression that 
one should treat such things as if 
they were wind behind one's ear. 
In other words, just brush it aside. 
                    Dalai Lama








If you make an effort to be grateful right now, to notice and dwell on the good stuff, to actually say "thank you" internally as you go along, it will only feel weird for a while. Eventually it takes on a life and rhythm of it's own that can really draw you in as long as you wish to maintain it. Sort of a 'Comfort Spiral.' And one good thing is, that it prevents the tiny black weeds from growing up and choking your joy. Cloudia
