Don't Wish You Had

A L O H A From Honolulu!

If it seems a childish thing to do,
do it in remembrance that
you are a child.

Being happy is better

than being king

By cultivating the beautiful we scatter the seeds of heavenly flowers. . . Vernon Howard 

No Hummingbirds in Hawaii

If you see it, shoot it.
If you shoot it,
you really do see it.

 Those who contemplate 

the beauty of the earth

 find reserves 

of strength 

that will endure 

as long as life lasts.

 Let us labour to make

the heart grow larger

as we become older, as the spreading oak gives more shelter. Richard Jefferies

Passionate Kiss

Kissing is a merging

of two lips, two souls

and two spirits that

makes them divine. Anonymous

is empathy, for it requires us

to suspend our egos and

live in another's world. Plato

The Perfect State Of Mind

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Focus on doing the right things instead of a bunch of things. Mike Krieger

It's a small world, but

I wouldn't want to

have to paint it.

   Steven Wright

The perfect state of mind

is a mirror. Grasping nothing,

No regrets. It observes but

does not keep. Chuang Tzu

 "Dragon Chasing The Pearl" shows

that the dragon is continually

in the pursuit of wisdom. Dragon Dance-Chinese Customs-

Perhaps the most comforting thing about growing old gracefully is the increasing ability not to take things too seriously. One of the big differences between a genuine sage and a preacher is gaiety. Henry Miller

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

Work while you have the light.

You are responsible for

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

come from stability.

It comes from relaxing

into instability.

Lucky You Came

A L O H A From Honolulu!

When we are together,

I can see Heaven

from here!

Lasting Happiness
like wonderful, warm donuts,
must be made fresh every hour!

Light is where The Angels lurk.

Winning is over

in a minute. Want joy for life? Be kind and help.

We do not need to lack kindness,

but are free to bring our own

with us EVERYWHERE!

Ally yourself with this

wonderful energy.

Be a quiet

ambassador of Aloha.

It is up to others, as it is to us:

the choice of how to behave.

The way to open eyes is

just such kindness that warms

and rekindles our humanity. 

 Live ALOHA

It is quite possible to

leave your home for a walk

return a different person -

beguiled, enchanted.

Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is a species of flowering plant in the genus Hibiscus that is native to Africa, most likely West Africa and also found in India especially Maharashtra with local name ambali. In the 16th and early 17th centuries it was spread to the West Indies and Asia, respectively, where it has since become naturalized in many places.[1] The stems are used for the production of bast fibre and the dried cranberry-tasting calyces are commonly steeped to make a popular infusion known as carcade.

This is a fierce bad rabbit

look at his savage whiskers,

and his claws and his

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
