High Simple Useful

 A L O H A From Honolulu!
The first hundred years
are the hardest. Wilson Mizner


It's important to be kind.
You can't know all the times
that you've hurt people in
tiny, significant ways.
It's easy to be cruel without
meaning to be. There's nothing
you can do about that. But
you can choose
to be kind. Be kind.
Anonymous

There is no power on earth 
that can neutralize the influence
 of a high, simple,
and useful life.
Booker T. Washington







Freedom means the opportunity
to be what we never
thought we would be.
     Daniel J. Boorstin



 Keep green places
in your heart.
Perhaps a singing bird
will nest there 
   Chinese Proverb

Tako is a Japanese word for wild caught octopus
The word “jiu jitsu” derives from the Japanese “Jū” meaning “gentle” and “Jutsu” meaning “art”; essentially, jiu jitsu is the “gentle art”.

    The gentle art of wild octopi... No wonder Pixie looks bewildered, between gentle wild octopi and birds nesting in our hearts, it is quite a befuddling day.

    Great sayings...and I think the octopus is grabbing some rockets meant for the Ukraine, just based on the colors used. I need to think more peaceful thoughts today.

    May we choose kindness each and every day, and God forgive us when we fail.
    Blessings, Cloudia!
