A L O H A From Honolulu!
Step onto a clean slate
each morning and you
will be miles ahead
of the rest.
Michelle C. Ustaszeski
Cultivating gratitude
every morning
when you wake up
refreshed can help
your day start off
on a good note.
Rocco Cozza
There is a still higher
type of courage -
the courage to brave pain,
to live with it, to never
let others know of it
and to still find
joy in life; to wake up
in the morning with
an enthusiasm for
the day ahead.
Howard Cosell
We Admire You!
Good luck
and bad luck
are strands of
the same rope.

Ride the energy of
your own unique spirit.

On Saturday, I went to a local
Shinto Shrine for my
New Year Blessing.
Hawaii people celebrate one another's
cultures. While in California for
four years, I missed many such things.
Good to be home.
Happy New Year! Link
Love You,
Cloudia & Pixie
