Might Surprise You

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

Gratefulness 
has three steps: 
not missing 
the opportunity, 
appreciating 
the opportunity, 
and using or enjoying 
the opportunity. 
By this method we 
come fully alive, 
full of joy, which is 
what we are all 
longing for.
Brother David Steindl-Rast




A great person 
is hard on self
A small person is 
hard on others.
Confucius 




It takes strength 
to be different, to 
be humble, and to change. 
It takes strength to
 become the person 
you've always wanted to be.
  Brianna Wiest







Do silly things. 
Foolishness is a great deal 
more vital and healthy than 
our straining and striving... 
Anton Chekhov

Claudia good morning
I notice in the photo that people are wearing masks.
Are you still wearing masks?
or is it from covid 19?
We in Greece don't wear them.

Confucius could see into the future, specifically the US in 2025.

I am well versed in Confuscious. Just not in the form of English. So I really enjoyed that one too
