 sit on a porch swing with, 

never say a word, and

 then walk away feeling 

like it was the best 

conversation 

you've ever had. "

The Merry Month

is light on her feet,

splashing with color

our souls to entreat.

Her pipes!  Her pipes!

Can you still hear?

Pay heed with joy

then, till your 

"You"

reappear.

They call it Spring

for JUST this thing-

I love You,

playmate-

Expect The Best

A  L  O  H  A   from   Honolulu!

" Expect the best, 

plan for the worst, and 

prepare to be surprised. " 

 Denis Waitley

" Expect the best.
Prepare for the worst
Capitalize on what comes. "
                                 Zig Ziglar

Don't let today 

be governed by 

yesterday's issues or

 tomorrow's worries. 

Start each new day 

on the right foot, 

expect the best!

“ If you treat an individual 

as he is, he will 

remain how he is. 

But if you treat him 

as if he were 

what he ought to be

 and could be, 

he will become 

what he ought to be 

and could be. "
                          Goethe

" The world in which 

we live and work, 

is a mirror of 

our attitudes 

and expectations. "

Of Fence

A  L  O  H  A   from   Honolulu!

Railings are little sky fences

“ Dwell on 

the beauty of life. 

Watch the stars,

 and see yourself

 running with them.” 

                               Marcus Aurelius

Why 

am I taking this picture?

When would it 

EVER be

appropriate

to use it?

The gate is open! It's never open.

Gotta shoot THAT.

But what am I ever

going to do with

these toilet pictures?

Just then,

I noticed a fellow 

working in the yard.

He saw me shooting,

and rushed over -

NOT to throw me out;

But to POSE!

The photo below

is the reason

for this entire post -

No offence! OK?

Strangers

are just friends

you haven't

met yet

“ We sometimes encounter people, 

even perfect strangers, 

who begin to interest us

 at first sight, somehow 

suddenly, all at once, 

before a word 

has been spoken. ”
