Among Which

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Adapt yourself to the things
among which your lot has been cast
and love sincerely
the fellow creatures
with whom destiny has ordained 
that you shall live.
    Marcus Aurelius



Vulnerability is the portal to feeling. Feeling is the portal to strength. A.D. Posey

What a wonderful life I've had!
I only wish
I'd realized it sooner.
Colette




Normal people don’t know how lucky
—how blessed—
they are. Darren Shan
A diamond with a flaw is worth more than a pebble without imperfections. Chinese Proverb




It has been said that
next to hunger and thirst,
our most basic human need
is for storytelling.

Pixie is a very lucky little cat :) A gecko such as this one used to visit us on our lanai every day. Happy memory of making friends with the little guy. Beautiful photos and wise, wise words. Thank you my friends!

Hi Cloudia, loved this post as always. Such enjoyable and true quotes. Love that vulnerability one, being able to show that is a pathway to greater feelings and connections to others I believe. Thanks,dear.
