Extend Automatic

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Honolulu 7:11 pm
The more you extend
kindness to yourself, the
more it will become your
automatic response to others.
Wayne Dyer




Flanked By Red
To wear red is to be the fire
in the midst of the crowd.





Clearer Day By Day





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.

Self kindness is still a step too far for me.
Love the history lesson, the quotes and the beauty.

As 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.

When 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.

Sad about the last queen. Hawaii has such an interesting and controversial history.

I'll have to work on what Wayne said.
