Happy Is

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

Today is life - 

the only life you are sure of. 

Make the most of today. 

Get interested in something. 

Shake yourself awake. 

Develop a hobby. Let the 

winds of enthusiasm 

sweep through you. 

Live today with gusto.

Dale Carnegie

In youth we feel richer 

for every new illusion; 

in maturer years, 

for every one we lose.

Anne Sophie Swetchine

A candle burns brightest

John Sarris 

Happy is the person

who can keep

a quiet heart in

the chaos and tumult

of this modern world.

Sunlight

A L O H A  From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

Retaining your composure

in challenging circumstance

brings a special kind of 

grace and power.

This Angel would agree!

And if you don't believe

in angels, then

this cloud formation 

also agrees!

Allow yourself to

dance with life,

just as the oceans

dance with the moon. Amadeus Wolfe

'Compare contrast'

this photo asks.

Adult at play,

Child looks away.

Do not anticipate trouble, 

or worry about what 

may never happen. 

Keep in the sunlight.

Benjamin Franklin

  A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

And while I stood there 

I saw more 

than I can tell 

and I understood 

more than I saw; 

for I was seeing in 

a sacred manner 

the shapes of all things 

in the spirit, and 

the shape of all shapes 

as they must live together 

like one being.

Black Elk

If you stand very still

and you hold to your faith

you will get all the

help that you ask -

You will draw from the Silence

the things that you need -

Hope and courage, and

strength for your task.

Patience Strong

We are the music makers, 

and we are the 

dreamers of the dream.

Wandering by 

lone sea breakers, 

and sitting 

by desolate streams.

World losers 

and world forsakers, 

for whom the 

pale moon gleams.

Yet we are movers 

and the shakers

 of the world 

forever it seems.

Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy

Life is short.

The Way To Mend

 A L O H A  From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

Happiness cannot be 

traveled to, owned, earned, 

worn or consumed. 

Happiness is the spiritual 

experience of living every 

minute with love, 

grace and gratitude.

            Denis Waitley

Have you ever seen dust 

dancing in sunbeams?

How it glitters 

like flecks of gold?

Maybe that is the 

true alchemy.

Not changing 

what something is, 

but seeing it 

in a new light.

L.E. Bowman

The way to mend

the bad world is to

create the right world.

   Ralph Waldo Emerson

Common Goldeneye 

No matter what you do

if it isn't genuine,

it's not worth doing,

if it isn't meant

with good heart

it's not worth saying,

and if it's a darkness

around you perhaps it's

not worth remembering.

 How can I ever have 

this experience again?' 

It was so mesmerizing, so 

complicated and so primordial; 

I could not believe it.

There is only one way

to happiness
and that is to cease

worrying about things

which are beyond
our power.
Epictetus

To me, photography is 

the simultaneous recognition, 

in a fraction of a second, 

of the significance of an event 

as well as of a precise 

organization of forms 

that give that event 

its proper expression.

Henri Cartier-Bresson 

The way we choose

to see the world 

creates the

world we see. 

             Barry Neil Kaufman

Half of our mistakes in life

 arises from feeling

 where we ought to

 think,

and thinking 

where we ought to 

feel 

John Churton Collins

Every year of my life I grow more convinced that it is wisest and best

to fix our attention on the beautiful and good

and dwell as little as possible on the dark and the base. Richard Cecil

If you cannot see the rainbow because your face is down, don't argue that no rainbow is up there. Lift up your passion and take your dreams off the ground! Israelmore Ayivor

Be the Person

Your Dog Thinks

You Are. C.J. Frick

 

Don't fall 

before you're pushed. 

English Proverb

We carry inside us 

the wonders we seek 

outside us. 

        Rumi

Mind be clear

Strong and free,

Ready to face

Whatever may be.

To handle life's puzzles 

With consummate ease,

Find joy in the simple things,

That please.

But when balance falters

Life gets tough,

Each day a struggle

It can be rough!

I lose my way,

And darkness starts to creep,

Making every moment feel 

like a heavy sleep.

So I remind myself

To take care each day,

To nurture my mind

And live a better way.

I breathe, I calm, I focus

On what's real,

And slowly, my balance

Begins to heal.

With every step, 

I find my footing again,

And life becomes manageable, 

less of a strain.

I learn to appreciate

The little things,

And find peace in the

Quiet moments that brings.
