Warm Yellow

Aloha From Honolulu

I really just want to be warm yellow light that
pours over everyone I love. Conor Oberst





Firemen never die, 
they just burn forever in 
the hearts of the people 
whose lives they saved.
   Susan Diane Murphree




 Remember that everyone
you meet is afraid of
something, loves something
and has lost something. H. Jackson Brown





There are glimpses
of heaven
to us in every act,
or thought,
or word, that
raises us
above ourselves.

Be faithful to that
which exists
within yourself.
Andre Gide

Possible

 A L O H A from
Honolulu

Nobody cares how much 
you know, until they know 
how much you care. 
Theodore Roosevelt





The human capacity for 
burden is like bamboo – 
far more flexible than you’d 
ever believe at first glance.
Jodi Picoult




Let us not seek the 
Republican answer or 
the Democratic answer, but 
the right answer. Let us not 
seek to fix the blame 
for the past. 
Let us accept our 
own responsibility 
for the future. 
    John F. Kennedy




Nothing is impossible, 
the word itself says 
'I'm possible'! 
Audrey Hepburn

A Curious Enjoyment

A L O H A From
Honolulu

Grey skies are just 
clouds passing over.
      Duke Ellington



Now is the time of
the illuminated woods, 
every leaf glows 
like a tiny lamp; 
one walks through 
their lighted halls 
with a curious enjoyment.
               John Burroughs





If you care for an orchid,
It's beauty will reward you.
Petals open.
Fragrance 
fills your room.
Even delicate things,
Can be beautiful 
and strong.
  Barb Schmidt



We lose ourselves in 
the things we love.  
We find ourselves 
there, too.
         Kristin Martz

That Happy Feeling

 A L O H A  From 
H A W A I I

 Clouds are free, 
they are one of 
the freest things in nature, 
they just float around 
and have a good time.  
                        Bob Ross



Gingerbread House
Ravaged By Dinosaurs


What do you call a T-Rex
wearing a cowboy hat 
and boots? 
Tyrannosaurus Tex!


What do you call a T-Rex 
with an extensive vocabulary? 
A Thesaurus!


Oh!  Dear!!

How do you invite a
dinosaur to lunch? 
Tea, Rex?

Always keep that 
happy attitude. 
Pretend that you are 
holding a beautiful 
fragrant bouquet.     
  Earl Nightingale





On the single
strand of wire strung 
to bring our house electricity, 
grackles and starlings neatly 
punctuated an invisible sentence.
      John Updike



Roll Easy With Change

Morning breathes
Like rivers
Long set routines
wind their way.

Now change is here.
There's bound to be 
Turbulence
But even this
Has it's place.

To dance with change
Not be crushed by it
Turning from what we know
With grace.

Let go of roots
No longer growing.  
The heart beats steady
Calm is still flowing.

Growth quietly blooms
But sometimes it booms!

So trust  and flow
We are leaves
In the stream,  
On currents of change
Finding new dreams.  

With grace as our guide
Let's step into light,  
Embracing the change 
Of our days
With fresh sight.

With Me and Be

 A L O H A  from
H O N O L U L U

True wisdom comes to
each of us when we realize 
how little we understand 
about life, ourselves, and 
the world around us.
   Socrates





A negative attitude is
below the horizon, 
a place for 
lonesome hearts.
T. F. Hodge






We are safe...Come 
with me and be in 
the present moment.
  Thich Nhat Hanh




In a world of roses 
be a heliconia!





The older I get, 
the greater power I 
seem to have to 
help the world; 
I am like a snowball - 
the further I am rolled 
the more I gain.
      Susan B. Anthony

Every Day Not Everyday

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
Every day I'm learning 
Every day I wonder 
Every day I'm grateful 
Every day I blunder. 

Every day I fail 
But every day I'm true 
Every day a few steps 
Closer God to you. 
     Cloudia Charters 


 Little, vicious minds
abound with anger
and revenge, and are
incapable of feeling
the pleasure of
forgiving their enemies. 
Earl of Chesterfield



Being confident doesn't
mean we have to show
everyone how good we are;
it means that we know
we are enough
without having the
need to show off.
   Alexander Den Heijer,
  Nothing You Don't Already Know







This is not the year to
get everything you want.
This is the year to appreciate 
everything you have.

Key to the Whole Thing

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

The key is to
keep company only
with people who uplift you, 
whose presence calls
forth your best.
Epictetus



Paddling Outrigger Canoe Together

Getting to know a
diverse group of people 
leads to a better 
understanding of yourself.
Alexander Den Heijer






It is your reaction
to adversity,
not the adversity itself,
that determines how
your life story will develop.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf




Now tenderness whispers A different refrain Where connection is key And empathy reigns.
