Oahu from the air. That is Diamond Head.
By my friend Tess B. Abellaneda
We know that in tough times,
cynicism is just
another way to give up,
and in the military,
we consider cynicism or
giving up simply as
forms of cowardice.
Jim Mattis
They say that orbs in a photo are angels.
When angels visit us,
we do not hear the rustle of wings,
nor feel the feathery touch
of the breast of a dove;
but we know their presence
by the love they create
in our hearts.
Mary Baker Eddy
A Brazilian Cardinal and two doves
I know that there's a god because
I was able to survive everything
that I've been through
- all of the tough times -
and I'm still at the top of my game.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Never give up.
There are always tough times,
regardless of what you do
in anything in life.
Be able to push through
those times and maintain
your ultimate goal.
Nathan Chen
A vacation is having nothing to do
and all day to do it in.
Robert Orben
I want people who go through tough times,
hard times, or didn't have everything right
-things didn't fall in their lap or go in their favor-
to know that they can still achieve their dream
and go to the highest of the highs.

ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was a Brazilian Cardinal.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot of Diamond head, and I love the one of the leaf with the sun shining through it, and the birds and those beautiful skies. Enjoyable quotes also. Thanks Cloudia, inspirational as always :)
ReplyDeleteThe cynic is not cool! He just gives others a heavier burden.
ReplyDeleteI love each and everyone of you so much it amazes even me. the Brazilian Cardinal was introduced in the twenties or thirties and flourishes in Honolulu. I just realized, this will end at some point! And won't that be fine
