“Any fool can 
criticize, condemn, 
and complain 
but it takes 
character 
and self control 
to be understanding 
and forgiving.”

"It’s really easy 

to complain. 

If you’re not 

careful, 

then you end up 

complaining 

about your 

whole life.

Concentrating on 

the good things 

is really good. 

Catch people 

doing good. "

Lisa Williams

That sums up

how I feel.

Listening

to a person's 

story

is important,

and healing.

But getting 

stuck

in the

story

is never good.

Live new stories

today;

be interested

in others.

Thanks

I love Honolulu!
Yesterday, I shopped 
in some Korean 
boutiques,
and got to use my limited
Korean to be polite.
Then a couple
at the next shop
was talking to me
in Spanish.
We are multi-lingual
and there are plenty
of flavors
here!

Thank You
