Bite At A Time

A   L   O   H   A  !
I'm a history buff, 

and right now we're 

sitting on one of 

the most dramatic 

historical shifts that 

this planet has ever 

seen and we have a 

front row seat for it. 

James Daly









One day is worth a

thousand tomorrows.

Benjamin Franklin









Signs

Owning or firing a gun
is almost impossible
in Japan, requiring
many, many regulations.
So this is an attraction
to visitors from Japan.









I try to take it 

one day at a time, but

sometimes several days 

attack me at once.     

Ashleigh Brilliant









I'm still growing 

I take each day, 

one day-at-a-time. 

I'm always thinking 

and dreaming. As 

long as this heart 

keeps beating, there 

will be new things 

coming along.     

Roy Haynes

The old hunters ask:

How do you eat

an elephant?

One bite at a time.

Now we understand

why "May you

live in interesting

times." is not a

blessing but a curse.

But it sure 

is INTERESTING!

You Hang In There.

Things have a way

of working out

for those who

remain calm.

Still

A   L   O   H   A  !
They deem me mad 

because I will not sell 

my days for gold; and 

I deem them mad 

because they think 

my days have a price.

Khalil Gibran












Older people are good 

at learning to regulate 

their lives in ways to 

maximize positive life 

experiences, do things 

that are enjoyable, rather 

than doing things 

you have to do.

     Richard Schulz











Tattoo Shop - No Tats!















The excellent makes 

great demands 

upon himself, 

the common makes 

no demands 

on himself. 

     Jose Ortega y Gasset












Those whom 

we most love 

are often the 

most alien to us.

    Christopher Paolini











Silver Peso Bar, Fairfax Ca 













Change

in all things 

is sweet.

      Aristotle

Already There

A  L  O  H  A !
A smile is the 

universal welcome.

        Max Eastman











Sometimes, days and 

months of conversation 

cannot do what an 

hour of play can achieve. 

It might take an 

hour of play to 

know a person, real person 

lurking behind the mask.

 Pragya Tiwari










The most important trip 

you may take in life 

is meeting people 

half way.

 Henry Boyle










She had blue skin,

And so did he.

He kept it hid

And so did she.

They searched for blue

Their whole life through,

Then passed right by-

And never knew.

   Shel Silverstein










Be patient, and 

presently the fog 

will clear and that 

which has always 

been there can 

be seen. 

The path is already 

there to follow.

        Rasheed Ogunlaru



We're all 

just walking 

each other 

home.

Inner Win, Winner IN

A   L   O   H   A  !
Our capacity to

consider ideas

different from

the way we

"just feel it to be"

gives us the chance

to grow, to become

more than we 

already are.






When this ability

to consider

is bullied by

powerful emotion

we lose something

very precious.





The answer is not

to be emotionless.

But to experience

every emotion

like a symphony

of being human.

Hand in hand with

what is true, not

what we'd prefer.





Weak arguments

must be loud.

Truth comes like

Spring!

Volume is just

counterfeit persuasion.









You Are

What You 

Think.

So use the privilege

to build on facts

not attractive fallacies.







Kindness is an inner desire 

that makes us want to 

do good things even if we 

do not get anything

in return. 

It is the joy of our life 

to do them. 

When we do good things 

from this inner desire, 

there is kindness in 

everything we think, 

say, want, and do.

                  Swedenborg

Your Play

A  L  O  H  A !

Better than a 

thousand hollow words,

 is one word that 

brings peace.

                      Buddha 













Life is like a mirror, 

we get the best results 

when we smile at it.









Asian Flower Beetle

Any foolish child 

can stamp on a beetle, 

but all the professors 

in the world cannot 

make a beetle.

           Schopenhauer












The moon is 

a friend for

the lonesome

to talk to.

        Carl Sandburg










What saves one 

is to take a step. 

Then another step. 

It is always the same step, 

but you have to take it.

   Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, 
                                      Wind, Sand and Stars, 1939




)*(

You Make a 

Difference.

WHAT difference 

you make is 

in your power!

You're Doing Good

A  L  O  H  A !

Until you're ready 

to look foolish, you'll 

never have the 

possibility of 

being great.

       Cher









Man is most nearly himself 

when he achieves the 

seriousness of a 

child at play.

               Heraclitus









I'm cracking but I'm facking:

I'm wisecracking, but 

I'm telling the truth 

           Zora Neale Hurston

Glossary of Harlem
Slang terms circa 1930's










Angel Spotlight










Living is like tearing 

through a museum. 

Not until later do you 

really start absorbing 

what you saw,

 thinking about it, 

 and remembering

 because you can't 

take it in all at once.

              Audrey Hepburn



###+###

Appreciate

how well you are coping

with this 

highly unusual 

time!


Take a moment to notice

your quiet competence

that doesn't shout,

but speaks volumes.

We Love You,

Build a Little Fence

A  L  O  H  A !

There is no fence 

or hedge round time 

that has gone. 

You can go back and

have what you like 

if you remember 

it well enough.

Richard Llewellyn











Truth is always right, 

observing it guarantees 

us victory in life.

              Sunday Adelaja









Build a little fence 

of trust around today; 

Fill the space with 

loving deeds, and 

therein stay.     

    Mary Butts














Opportunity never 

sneaks up on those

who straddle the

fence of indecision.

                  Napoleon Hill











Today is a new day... 

Make a pact with 

yourself to not be 

defined by your past.

Steve Marboli
