Sitting By An Open Window

Be willing to

be a beginner

   Meister Eckhart

Birds sing after a storm;

why shouldn't people feel

as free to delight in whatever

sunlight remains to them?

Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy

Learning how to be still. To really be still and let life happen. That stillness becomes radiance. Morgan Freeman 

Focus on your gratitude,

your kindness, and feed it.

That takes all the oxygen away

from fearful worry.

Change your focus: Change

your emotional weather.

For successful living and aging focus on your strengths and joys not your weaknesses and fears.

Work while you have the light.

the talent that has

been entrusted to you.

   Henri Frederic Amiel

Often when you think you're

at the end of something,

you're at the beginning

of something else.
Fred Rogers

Beautiful Enough

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Judge nothing,

you will be happy. Forgive everything,

you will be happier. Love everything,

you will be happiest. Sri Chinmoy

The price of hating

other human beings

is loving oneself

less.

 Eldridge Cleaver

When hope is fleeting,

stop for a moment and visualize, in a sky of silver, the crescent of a lavender moon. Imagine it -- delicate, slim, precise, like a paper-thin slice from a cabochon jewel. It may not be very useful, but it is beautiful. And sometimes it is enough. Vera Nazarian

To be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization. Harriet Beecher Stowe

Let The Particles Run

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We all have the potential

to live the good life:

If we can learn to be indifferent

to what makes no difference.

Marcus Aurelius

Too many people overvalue

what they are not and

undervalue what they are.

Malcolm Forbes

There are as many paths to God

as there are souls on this Earth. 

      Rumi

It's a good thing to turn

your mind upside down

now and then, like an

hour-glass, to let the particles

run the other way.

   Christopher Morley

A Bit of Light Dispels

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A little bit of light

dispels a lot of darkness. Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi

Outward courage

dares to die; Inner courage dares to live. Lao Tzu

When I started feeling

the drag of winter, I

began to treat myself like a

favored child: with kindness and love.

I assumed my needs were reasonable

and that my feelings were

signals of something important.

     Katherine May

In America law is king. Thomas Paine

When angels visit us, we do not hear the

rustle of wings, but

we know their presence by the love they create in our hearts. Mary Baker Eddy

 We often need to get out

of alignment with the rest

of the world to get back

into alignment with ourselves. Real confidence looks like humility.

Happy Tasting Beauty

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A happy person is not
a person in a certain set
of circumstances, but rather
a person with a certain
set of attitudes.
Hugh Downs

Why not seize the pleasure 

at once, how often is 

happiness destroyed by 

preparation, foolish 

preparations.

            Jane Austen

Because your heart 

is so beautiful,

Flashes

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Everywhere across

whatever sorrows of

which our life is woven,

some radiant joy will

gaily flash past.

Nikolai Gogol

You're not in this life for

things to go well.

You're in this life to be

your deepest heart in all

that goes well and in

all that doesn't. John de Ruiter

Everyone has an invisible sign

hanging from their neck saying,

'Make me feel important.'

Never forget this...

    Mary Kay Ash

Wit is the appearance, the

external flash of imagination.

Thus its divinity, and the

witty character of mysticism.

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Mirth is like

a flash of lightning,

that breaks through

a gloom of clouds,

and glitters for a moment;

cheerfulness keeps up a kind

of daylight in the mind, and

fills it with a steady and

perpetual serenity.

  Joseph Addison

Politeness is the art

of choosing among

your thoughts.

 Madame De Stael
