Honolulu Marathon Runners

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Slow buds the pink dawn like a rose. Susan Coolidge

Lessons from a Christmas Tree: Be a light in the darkness. We all fall over sometimes. You can never wear
too much glitter. Bring joy to others. Sparkle and twinkle
as often as possible. It's okay to be a little tilted. Jane Lee Logan




Waikiki endured lock-down.
Our streets were empty,
Stores boarded up;
But Sunday saw the running of
the 50th Honolulu Marathon.




Mix in Christmastime hustle,
and the beach town is feeling
like herself again!

Hanukkah, Kwanzaa

New Year

Life is a craft no one masters.
But we will see an abundance of
amazing colors, beautiful views and
stunning insights along the way.
Ricky Maye



People may talk as much as they like
about their religion, but if it does not
teach them to be good and kind
to man and beast, it is a sham. Anna Sewell

If you’re sad,
add more lipstick
and attack.

Lovely skies and beautiful trees.
I am sure the Marathon runners are happy things are back to normal now.
The Anna Sewell quote is so true!
Take care, have a happy new week!

Pixie is waiting for you to adorn her with glitter and lipstick so she can attack the bird that has appeared as the Shadow in your banner shot. She has to protect the integrity of the blog. Mele Monday to you!

Sorry I am so late visiting. I was blown away by the tree and the quotes, as well as the skyline view. But I was really impressed that every runner had a bottle of water, which is perfect for T this week, dear Cloudia.

Cloudia said...

Thank you! The final photo of the makeup lady also had a Coca-Cola bottle in it.

Cloudia said...

Thank you. Most sincerely, my dear friends for your visits and kind comments
