No Good Deed Goes Unrewarded

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
The early morning
has gold in its mouth. Benjamin Franklin



Another reason
to rise again


Some believe it is only
great power that can
hold evil in check, but
that is not what I have found.
It is the small everyday deeds
of ordinary folk that keep
the darkness at bay.
Small acts of kindness 
and love.
   Tolkien



Today is going to 
be a great day!
Don't worry about 
the worst. 
Expect the best! 
You will be right 99+% 
of the time!
  Pixie

Hope is the
extinguisher of despair.
Hope has wings 
that make it fly.

You are tempting me to check via mail if I failed or not. But I don´t dare... I keep that quote, though!

I’m finding so much of life is 50-50. I have a 50% chance of putting my top on frontwards…and so I can just skip looking at the tag and see what happens. Big gambler that I am.
