The more you extend
kindness to yourself, the
more it will become your
automatic response to others.

When people look at my pictures
I want them to feel the way
they do when they want to read
a line of a poem twice.
Robert Frank
Smart people are gracious.
Gracious people are smart.
They have the confidence
and skills to communicate
without being mean or loud.

"Honolulu T.H."
[US] Territory of Hawaii *
Pre: 1959
* The Territory of Hawaii was an organized incorporated territory of the United States that existed from April 30, 1900, until August 21, 1959. The territory was made up of eight islands that covered over 6,400 square miles.
The territory became the 50th state in August, 1959, following a referendum in which more than 93% of the voters approved the proposition that the territory should be admitted as a state.
Hawaii had been a sovereign constitutional monarchy until 1893, when the last Queen, Lili'uokalani, was deposed by a group of American sugar planters and missionaries, with the support of the US marines. Hawaii was an independent republic from 1894 until August 12, 1898, when it officially became a U.S. territory.
Great quotes today. I like the one about making kindness a way of life and the one about being gracious. Pixie definitely looks gracious in today's portrait of a kitty. The sewer plates from the Territory of Hawaii are also an awesome bit of history. Thanks for the education.
ReplyDeleteSelf kindness is still a step too far for me.
ReplyDeleteLove the history lesson, the quotes and the beauty.
So true. Extend care to self before others.
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes and photos!
ReplyDeleteI love the sky, the lizard and your sweet Pixie!
Take care, enjoy your day and happy weekend!
Another one of your daily jewels. I appreciate them very much.
ReplyDeletePixie looks stoic today.
ReplyDeleteAs always enjoyed those sayings very much. Interesting Hawaii details too. It is a place my parents loved and vacationed there a number of times. Thanks for sharing, Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteEach of you deserves kindness. It means so much that you stop by here and visit. Bless each of you my friends
ReplyDeleteWhen I look at your photos and quotations if feel the way Robert Frank wanted me to feel. Also, thanks for the brief history lesson. It tells a long and complicated story in just a few words.
ReplyDeleteSad about the last queen. Hawaii has such an interesting and controversial history.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to work on what Wayne said.
ReplyDeleteYes, one of my ways to be kind to myself, is visit here! What a glorious place and world we have right at our fingertips and feet! Aloha Cloudia and sweet, adorable Pixie too!
ReplyDeleteI love your pics! The girl with the red bags looks like a moving "Target".
