Not Embarrassed to Say

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The ideals which have

always

shone before me and

filled me with joy are

goodness, beauty, and

truth.

Albert Einstein

New ideas are sometimes 

found in the most 

granular details of a problem 

where few others bother to look. 

             Nate Silver

I went to an outdoor 

restaurant for  lunch.

Total disaster. 

Poured with rain. 

Took me 2 hours to 

finish my soup!

Excelsior  “Ever upward!”

Chick & Mother

Be as a bird perched

on a frail branch that she

feels bending beneath her,

still she sings away

all the same, knowing

she has wings.

Victor Hugo

The satisfactions

of agreement are

immediate as sugar

a melting of the

granular, a syrup

that lingers, shared

not singular.

Many prefer it.

Melody To Reach

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Ragged Fire Torn Across the Sky

The sky was a ragged blaze 

of red and pink and orange, 

and its double trembled on 

the surface of the pond 

like color spilled 

from a paintbox.

          Natalie Babbitt

Bullfight

Only a person who has 

passed through the gate of 

humility can ascend to the 

heights of the spirit. 

    Rudolf Steiner

Are Tall Buildings Better Than Deep Ones?

If you're stuck in a puddle,

it means there's higher

ground all around you,

you just have to

step onto it.

Emilyann Girdner

O passing angel, 

speed me with a song, 

a melody of heaven 

to reach my heart ...     

     Christina Georgina Rossetti

Even if I knew that tomorrow 

the world would go to pieces, 

I would still plant my apple tree.

    Martin Luther

When we have learned how 

to listen to trees, then the 

brevity and the quickness and 

the childlike hastiness 

of our thoughts achieve 

an incomparable joy. 

      Herman Hesse

"Yearn"

Life does not come with 

instructions on how to live, 

but it does come with trees, 

sunsets, smiles and laughter, 

so enjoy your day.

Flowers in Waikiki [My Blogging Secret]

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Peace Lily

Peace and lilies

Lilies and Peace

A Block from my home.

Walk with me:

Waikiki!

Blue Ginger

A friend is one who overlooks 

your broken fence and 

admires the flowers 

in your garden.

Anonymous 

Did NOT notice the temporary fence &  sign

in the background of the shot

until I placed THIS quote!  Typical

of the way this blog happens

on a daily basis: Inspiration!

Sometimes, it is not till I

read it later that I see

WHY a particular quote

works with an image.

No matter how many 

mistakes you have made, 

how slow the progress, 

you are still way ahead 

of everyone who 

isn’t trying. 

So keep going!

     Tony Robbins

A Pocket Sunburst To Contemplate & Enjoy

I like gardening, it’s a place 

where I find myself when 

I need to lose myself.

 Alice Sebold

If you look the right way, 

you can see that 

the whole world 

is a garden.

      Frances Hodgson Burnett

We know nothing of tomorrow; 

our business is to be 

good and happy today.

Renaissance Choices

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Hope may seem a fragile thing. 

Until you really hear it sing.

Say what you see. 

Don't see what you say.

Why do you care

what someone else

thinks about you?

They know even less

about you than you do!

There are always two paths.

Which one will you walk?

There are always 

two voices speaking. 

Which one will you hear?

Choosing builds 

everything. 

Choices can tear 

everything down. 

Which path will you walk on? 

Which voice will you heed?

Today's post is based

on things that Pixie & I

regularly say to one other
