I'm not buying the

doom and gloom.

I'm investing in faith,

hope and love. Jon Gordon

Is there a place

you can go

to break away

for a little while?

If you haven't yet

built your tree house, it's

never too late to start.

   Gina Greenlee

Birds chirping around you

is a beautiful realization that

life in incredibly good.

Let this sound be

a gentle break

in your routine.

      Hiral Nagda

When your mind is narrow, 

small things agitate

you very easily. 

Make your mind

an ocean.

O radiant Dark!

O darkly fostered ray!

Thou hast a joy too

deep for shallow Day.

After all this time

of listening to people

talk with masks on,

I finally understand

what Charlie Brown's

teacher was saying!

Important Enough

A L O H A From Honolulu!

You have to

forgive yourself

for not knowing

what you didn't know

before you learned it.

   Maya Angelou

They're back! 

   Carol Anne Freeling,

       "Poltergeist II" 

You're always here,

in my heart,

between each breath,

folded in the lines

of my palm.

Nitya Prakash

Only those who are

capable of silliness -

-can be called

truly intelligent.

Choose the least important

day in your life.

It will be

important enough.

Rose Ringed Parakeet

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Let go of what

you cannot change.

Stop reacting.

                Start living.

Outrage is a

waste of time.

Give you precious

attention to

what builds you up

and enhances you.

The rose-ringed parakeet,

also known as the

ring-necked parakeet, is

a medium-sized parrot in

the genus Psittacula, of

the family Psittacidae.

   Wikipedia

They are not

native to Hawaii,

but like it here,

and are spreading.

     Link

It was one frayed rope

thrown across the

chasm between us.

Not enough to get across,

but maybe just enough

to tell that it wasn't

as wide as I'd

originally thought.

    Maggie Stiefvater

 I sang because that is

what I do when I am

happy and when I'm sad.

I sang because it is

who I am when I am

being the best possible

version of me.

    Ally Carter

Budding Blue Ginger

You can't cross

the same street

twice.

Live your life

while you have it.

Life is a splendid gift.

There is nothing

small in it.

Your Own Unique

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Step onto a clean slate

each morning and you

will be miles ahead

of the rest.

Michelle C. Ustaszeski

Cultivating gratitude

every morning

when you wake up

refreshed can help

your day start off

on a good note.

Rocco Cozza

There is a still higher

type of courage -

the courage to brave pain,

to live with it, to never

let others know of it

and to still find

joy in life; to wake up

in the morning with

an enthusiasm for

the day ahead.

   Howard Cosell

We Admire You!

Good luck

and bad luck

are strands of

the same rope.

your own unique spirit.

On Saturday, I went to a local

Shinto Shrine for my 

New Year Blessing.

Hawaii people celebrate one another's

cultures. While in California for

four years, I missed many such things.

Good to be home.

Insubstantial Oceans

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Each morning

we are born again.

What we do today is

what matters most.

Buddha

Give every day

the chance to become

the most beautiful

day of your life.

   Mark Twain

The first hour

of the morning

is the rudder

of the day.

    Henry Ward Beecher

We think of the present

as the tiny, insubstantial

 razor's edge

between the ocean of the past

and the vast unknown space of

tomorrows without end.

 

We trick ourselves into devaluing

the present moment

- really all we have -

to the point where

we completely miss it!

Don't rob yourself

of your real wealth.

The Present

is the ocean.

Here is

where we breathe.

Be Both
