Age Is Opportunity

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
Life is unpredictable. 
Situations will move 
at their own pace, 
especially the ones we 
have no control over. 
We find ourselves at times, 
angry at a possible scenario 
in a situation that hasn’t 
even happen yet. 
Then, the exact 
opposite happens. 
Looking back at the 
thoughts wasted and 
false anguish, 
we’re all better off with 
patience and an open mind.
   Ron Baratono

Don't fool yourself,
just COOL yourself!

There is frequently more 
to be learned from 
the unexpected questions 
of a child than the 
discourses of men. 
     John Locke




Deal with the faults 
of others as gently 
as with your own.
Chinese Proverb








For age is opportunity
 no less than youth itself, 
though in another dress, 
and as the evening 
twilight fades away, 
the sky is filled with 
stars, invisible by day.
                    Longfellow



Trust in your truth,
and in your courage to
share it with the world.
Your truth can help
many people and
transform many lives.
Scott Stabile

The Hawaii state flag
was first commissioned by
King Kamehameha I in 1816,
making it one of the oldest
flags in continuous use
in the United States. The current design above
was officially adopted on
December 29, 1845,
during the reign of
Kamehameha III, and has
remained unchanged through
the Kingdom, Republic, Territory,
and State of Hawaii.


Hawaii became the
50th U.S. state in 1959,
the flag was retained as
the official state flag.

Each of these speaks to a quiet wisdom, the grace of patience, the light that age brings, and the strength in sharing one’s truth

I never knew how old Hawaii's flag was. So glad you all joined the U.S. in 1959! Blessings, Cloudia!
