The Little Ones

 A L O H A  From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U
Always be on the lookout 
for the presence of WONDER.
E.B. White


The test of our progress 
is not whether we add 
more to the abundance 
of those who have much; 
it is whether we provide 
enough for those 
who have too little.
Franklin D. Roosevelt 
US President 
Inaugural Address, January 20, 1937.


Open water is a highway 
to adventure, best 
traveled by canoe.
Love many, trust few, 
but always paddle 
your own canoe.
American folk proverb.




It isn't the great big 
pleasures that count the most;
it's making a great deal 
out of the little ones.
           Jean Webster

  2. I love the FDR quote and the shot of the Hawaiian canoe. Pixie looks like she's ready to paddle that canoe even if it isn't hers... ;)

  3. A powerful reminder that true progress is measured by how we uplift those in need, not by how much we give to those who already have plenty.

  12. Such a lovely reminder to appreciate the small moments in life! Your quotes bring an uplifting sense of perspective. It’s true that it’s often the little things that bring the most joy. I’m also intrigued by the Hawaiian touch and the beautiful vibes from Honolulu!
