Your Own Unique

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.
  Sakura Tsukuba





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

So Enjoy A
Beverage!

Happy New Year, Cloudia! Loved the pictures of the Shinto shrine with new year's blessing banners. I also love the lion with the lei and Pixie in her Sphinx-lion pose.

Hawaii is only a dream. Warm weather. Multi cultural. We don't see the sad parts.

I've always found pain easier to handle when I have a support group, but I do love all your photos, and the video of birds singing.
