A L O H A From Honolulu!
Being positive doesn't mean
you ignore reality.
It means you maintain
hope, optimism and
faith in order to create
a better reality.
Jon Gordon
If you're lonely
when you're alone,
you're in bad company.
Sartre
It was only a sunny smile,
and little it cost in the giving,
but like morning light
but like morning light
it scattered the night
and made the day worth living.

Pandemic Paradise
After an awful September,
Hawaii infections are low again.
Masks remain, but we are all feeling relief.
Parents watched their kids play
High School sports
in person this weekend. And
University of Hawaii football hosted
fans at the stadium for the
first time this season - or last.
Tourists will return as the Governor
welcomes them back. And winter.
As elsewhere, employers are having trouble
with staffing. How nice that workers
have a bit of power now!

Solitude is fine but
you need someone to tell
that solitude is fine.

I am much less likely to feel lonely when I am alone than when I am in company.
ReplyDelete@Sue - Yep.
ReplyDeleteAnd it is nice that workers have a little power. But you know who's going to get the blame when prices start going up for no reason except corporate greed.
Beautiful clicks
ReplyDeleteLovely to hear Hawaii is opening up. We too face a shortage of qualified staff and hospitality staff too.
ReplyDeleteThat exotic hibiscus is beautiful!
The mural is lovely too, thanks for participating in Monday Murals Cloudia.
Dreamy Photos - Happy Monday
ReplyDeleteCheers
Wonderful words today! Pixie is looking quite regal!
ReplyDeleteI am alone about 95% of the time and I am never lonely. I have my own "Pixies" to keep me company. I really like that mural. It looks like it is quite large, Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteThat's also a really, really great take on T for Tuesday, too. Unusual is always more fun for me, Thanks for sharing this with us for T this week, dear.
All beautiful and I'm never lonely. I'm happy about that.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing Pixie.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. ♥
Pixie is looking quite comfy.
ReplyDeleteGood thing it's settling down with COVID. Here, as well.
ReplyDeleteTha Satre quote is interesting - he also said "Hell is other people" so it all sort of ties in. I love the Fitzgerald one too. Good finds. Glad your numbers are down I think it's probably smart to keep sticking with the masks for awhile until this whole thing goes away. It's a pain but little intrusion to be able to keep going out and about.
ReplyDeletefunny mural .. Sumo Wrestler Surfing .. with spam :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy my own company in solitude. Never mind the naysayers who are afraid that solitude is fearful lonliness. Love the surfing sumo wrestler juggling a spam snack.
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers- they are like smiles that can change a person's day & attitude.
Thanks Cloudia! Appreciate you sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2021/10/the-old-mill.html
