The climb is always steep
just before you
reach your goal.

If what I say
resonates with you,
it is merely because we
are both branches
on the same tree.

Alpinia purpurata,
also known as red ginger,
is a perennial ornamental ginger plant
native to the Pacific islands. It has
showy flowers on long,
brightly colored red bracts.
The small white flower is
the true flower.

Rude people
are never convincing.
Convincing people
are never rude.
Few delights can equal
the mere presence of
one whom we
trust utterly.

For J.B.
Aloha Affirmations this holiday season
I am proud of what I overcame
and accomplished this year
I am grateful for the wisdom
that I acquired this year
I give myself grace for the way
I navigated new and unexpected
things this year
Every moment is an opportunity
for me to make changes in my life.
Every day can be a
new season for me.

Thank you for these, reflecting on both photos and words. A good thing to do.

ReplyDelete"The climb is always steep

That is literally true for two local mountains/lookouts. Friend and I were talking about it just yesterday. Getting near the top wasn't too bad, but that last portion is problematic for many of us.
I like that view of Diamond Head.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cloudia. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLovely photos.
ReplyDeleteWonderful words to contemplate.
Every day we are alive, there is always something to celebrate, Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Words of wisdom. Thanks, Cloudia.
ReplyDelete"Few delights can equal the mere presence of one whom we trust utterly."

Beautiful photos and I like your affirmations. It's a perfect time to reflect on the year.
ReplyDeleteThat Ralph Lauren quote sounds like it could be a definition of your book "Aloha, Where You Like Go". And that quote about rude people is never more true than when one thinks about the former president.
ReplyDeleteLovely and inspiring! All the best.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots.
ReplyDeleteI love this blog post! Your photos and quotes are so motivating, as usual. Thank you for sharing this inspiration with us. Wishing you All the Best, dear friend. Have a blessed Friday!
ReplyDeleteAloha! Namaste 🙏
ReplyDeleteRight now and for the last few months I am having a horrible time. However, the sun is shinning and there is always something good to look at. Wishing you and Pixie a great day.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining FFO.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and quotations as always! Hawaiian flowers are the BEST! Always such a pleasure to see.
ReplyDeleteExcellent golden picture to start with!
