Obscure Glory

A L O H A From Honolulu!

When we are no longer able
to change a situation, we are
challenged to change ourselves.
Viktor Frankl

Ipomoea obscura, also known as
the obscure morning glory
or small white morning glory. 


Become the kind of person
your ancestors want you to be
and your descendants
need you to be. 
  Kawika Au
                    Link




Anyone can love a rose,
but it takes a lot
to love a leaf.
It's ordinary to love
the beautiful, but it's
beautiful to love the ordinary.
  MJ Korvan




Be pleasant anyway.
Your life will improve
immeasurably as will
your relationships.

Love the Kawika Au quote - though I have no descendants. Changing my attitude often helps a lot.

Great quotes and shots today. I think Pixie is thirsting for some of that enlightened beer, or is it "beer of enlightenment"? What happens to you when you meditate after drinking it? Pixie will test it and let us know...

This post has some key concepts to happiness in it - accepting what we can't change, being kind, looking for the beauty in the ordinary, and living your life in a way pleasing to those before and after you. All of these are things missing in many people today and some of what is wrong in our world. Lovely pictures and VERY lovely kitty.

LOVE the beer!!!

Happy T-day and hugz

I bet it’s warmer in Honolulu than it is in NH right now. But after the rain and humidity , I’m not missing the heat 😀 happy T Day and happy August.

The Kawika Au quote struck a chord, even though I have no descendants. I absolutely LOVE that Lucky 777 Buddha. I would buy it just for the bottle. Thanks for sharing the lovely quotes and fabulous photos, as well as the beer with us for T this Tuesday, dear Cloudia.

I love the Korvan quote. An inspiration. Happy T Tuesday

The Ipomoea is so beautiful, similar in some ways to the bindweed that features in my current post for nature Notes! Pixie is adorable as ever.

I feel terrible for those on Maui right now. Thanks for your blog visit. Yes, Catsby is a great name!
