To Better Days

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 Take heart. If you are alive today, You are a warrior

of the soul.

Sometimes

we are trying so hard

to do the right thing,

and to figure out

what it is, that we

drown out the still,

Small Voice that is

telling us exactly

what we need to hear.

Your mission on this earth is 2% WHAT you do, 98% HOW YOU DO IT. 

When you have a

forgiving attitude,

it is yourself that you

forgive and empower

THE MOST!

Head up, heart open.

To better days!

 T.F. Hodge

Come friends,

it's not too late to

seek a newer world.

The Better Will Be Your World

A  L  O  H  A !

"The first act of awe, 

when man was struck with the 

beauty or wonder of Nature, 

was the first spiritual experience."

“Most of the time, 

beauty lies in the 

simplest of things.” 

           Winna Efendi

"A positive attitude gives you 

power over your circumstances 

instead of your circumstances 

having power over you."

"The more you muse 

upon good thoughts, 

the better will be 

your world and 

the world at large."

Raindrop Moments

A  L  O  H  A !

“We know only too well 

that what we are doing is 

nothing more than 

a drop in the ocean. - 

- But if the drop 

were not there, 

- the ocean would be

missing something.” 

                  Mother Teresa

Each Raindrop

makes it's own "TAP!"

on my tin roof.

Even in a torrential storm,

as in a chorus,

I can hear each voice

sing it's single note

just for me.

Scatter Gather Rather

but what you scatter 

that tells what kind of life

you have lived. "

" One gives freely, 

yet grows all the richer; 

another withholds 

what he should give, 

and only suffers want. "

measure you use, 

it will be 

measured to you."

It does seem to be

 the Givers

who get the most

out of life: 

In good measure,

pressed down,

shaken together;

Plenty to share.

Much of what

others most need

from ourselves

is free,

within the realms of

attitude & behavior.

The world you believe in

builds itself around you,

or rather:

YOU build it

every day.

I'm placing this post

right HERE,

just SO.

Another brick

in the walk.

Thank You 

for lingering!

Most of my adventures

take place

in my own head

these days.

Routine can be 

comforting

when life has been

anything but -

Ye,t it's good

to shake things up

once in a while.

I drove to shop

in Hawaii Kai,

and the highway 

going back to Honolulu

looked like a 

parking lot.

On islands,

the main roads

are often coastal;

Not too many 

options.

But I decided

to make it an adventure

and continue around

the isle,

and come back

to town over 

the Pali Highway

through the 

Ko`olau mountains

H = Home, S= Shopping

P= Pali Highway

I chose an adventure

over a traffic jam.

Right choice!

I fell in love

with Oahu all over

again.

What a gorgeous day!

(Just sayin`)

& Sharing it with

YOU

is the best part.

Please keep safe

in Your adventures-

Toodle-OOO

       Warmly, cloudia
