Ten More Years Of Life

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

Kindness is more important 
than wisdom, and the 
recognition of this is the 
beginning of wisdom.
 Theodore Isaac Rubin




A smile will gain you
ten more years of life.
  Chinese Proverb





It is by believing 
in roses that 
one brings them 
to bloom.
Anatole France




How many slams 

in an old screen door? 

Depends how loud you shut it. 


How many slices in a bread? 

Depends how thin you cut it. 


How much good inside a day? 

Depends how good 

you live ’em. 


How much love 

inside a friend? 

Depends how much 

you give ’em.

 Shel Silverstein

One of life's 
most fulfilling moments 
occurs in the split-second 
when the familiar is suddenly 
transformed into the 
dazzling aura of the 
profoundly new.

Hi Pixie and Claudia! Silverstein is one of my favorite authors and illustrators, so I have several of his Children's books. Blessings!
