Waikiki Portraits

A  L  O  H  A !

"A truly happy person 

can enjoy the 

scenery 

while on a 

detour."

 "Lovers 

do not 

finally meet 

somewhere. 

They are in 

each other 

all along." 

Rumi

Women have given up

getting the fellows to 

'dress up'

Everyone wears 

what they please.

One see's girls 

in cute outfits,

their guys 

in ball caps,

and why not?

The 'Rules'

are old fashioned

as buggy whips.

Thanks for Walking Along!

Good for Health

A  L  O  H  A !

" The ultimate source 

of a happy life 

is warm-heartedness. 

This means 

extending to others 

the kind of concern 

we have for 

ourselves. -

On a simple level 

we find that if we have 

a compassionate heart 

we naturally have 

more friends. -

And scientists today 

are discovering 

that while anger 

and hatred 

eat into our 

immune system, -

warm-heartedness 

and compassion 

are good 

for our health. "

 Dalai Lama

Three Graces

" I think there's 

a little child 

in all of us 

and we 

all to often 

forget 

to let the child 

out to play.”

 Donna A. Favors

Relaxing Places

" I have the nerve 
to walk my own 
way, 
however hard,
 in my search 
for reality, 
rather than 
climb upon
 the rattling wagon 
of wishful illusions. "

   Zora Neale Hurston 

Letter to Countee Cullen

Oahu Watercress

" There are times, 

like after a 

long day of work, 

when the thought 

of an easy 

drive-through 

is enticing. 

But then I remember 

how crappy I felt 

when I ate fast food 

in the past, 

and it inspires me 

to head to the grocery store 

or my local farmer's market 

and whip up an easy 

but healthier option. "

" The hardest thing 

to see 

is what is 

in front of 

your eyes. "

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 

But always home,

sweet home,

to Waikiki

>//<

My formula 

for living 

is quite simple. 

I get up 

in the morning 

and I go to bed 

at night. 

In between, 

I occupy myself 

as best I can. "

Pales in Comparison

A  L  O  H  A

" Whatever you are

 by nature, 

keep to it; 

never desert 

your line of 

talent.

Be what nature

 intended you for 

and you will 

succeed. "

Sydney Smith
English essayist (1771 - 1845)

" What lies behind you -

- and what lies 

in front of you, 

pales in comparison 

to what lies 

inside of you. "

Ralph Waldo Emerson 

" A good person produces 
good things 
from the treasury of 
a good heart -"

Matthew 12:35

Any Fool Can

A  L  O  H  A !

Island Afternoon

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

 Dale Carnegie

"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

interested
