Simply Say

A L O H A From Honolulu!


You make your life hard

by always being

in your head.

Life is simple,

get out of your head

and get into the moment.

Sylvester  McNutt










Hong Kong Orchid Tree











"Why are you so nice
even to people who
are rude to you?"





- "Because I, too, have
been rude to nice people,
& I know that rudeness
comes from a place of
roaring pain. & only
kindness soothes it."
  Bibhudatta Tripathy







I follow three rules:
Do the right thing,
do the best you can, and
always show people you care. 
     Lou Holtz






Hong Kong Orchid Tree


If someone gives you something,
be it money, a compliment, or
a gift, say Thank You sincerely.
Respect their intention.
Don't stammer, don't refuse,
don't deflect. Look them
in the eye and say
"Thank You."









The love for all
living creatures is
the most noble
attribute of man.
  Charles Darwin

Higher Each Go Round

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Life doesn't have to
be perfect
it just has to
be lived.
  Dexter Morgan







The grotto itself comprises
its own slick universe,
and inside this universe
spin countless galaxies:
here, in the upturned half
of a single mussel shell,
lives a barnacle and a
tiny spindle shell
occupied by a still
smaller hermit crab.
And on the shell
of the crab?
A yet smaller barnacle.
And on that barnacle?
 Anthony Doerr








The stars are the land-marks

of the universe.

Sir John Frederick William Herschel





















Sometimes we feel like

we're just going around

again. . . 







. . . But

we are higher each go,
and closer to what
we're aiming at.
Trust your intuition.









When you think of me,
she said quietly 
think of a food
you love very much.
Lemony Snicket

Pleasures Lie Thick

A L O H A From Honolulu!



I saw the lovely arch

Of rainbow span the sky,



- The gold sun burning

As the rain swept by.

   Elizabeth Coatsworth,
                                  "November"

 







Ipomoea Obscura, Obscure Morning Glory


Even if something
is left undone, everyone
must take time to sit still and
watch the leaves turn.
  Elizabeth Lawrence









Pleasures lie thickest
where no pleasures seem:
There's not a leaf that falls
upon the ground
But holds some joy of
silence or of sound,
Some spirits begotten
of a summer dream.
   Laman Blanchard







The wild gander leads his flock
through the cool night, Ya-honk! he says,
and sounds it down to me
like an invitation: The pert may suppose
it meaningless, but
I listen closer, I find its purpose
and place up there
toward the November sky.
Walt Whitman,
Leaves of Grass, 1855





November always seemed to me
the Norway of the year.
Emily Dickinson

Show Them Appreciation

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Recognition is

a reward in itself. . .







. . . Any form of
appreciation,
even a small word,
is important. 
Vikrant Massey










Nature's beauty is a gift
that cultivates appreciation
and gratitude.
Louie Schwartzberg







Respect... is
appreciation of the
separateness of
the other person,
of the ways in which he
or she is unique.
  Annie Gottlieb







What we all have
in common is an
appreciation of kindness
and compassion;
all the religions
have this.
We all lean
towards love.
    Richard Gere

Reshuffle

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Follow your heart, but
be quiet for a while first.
Ask questions, then
feel the answer. Learn
to trust your heart.








Far away, far away
Where the balmy breezes blow
Where they sway
while they play
Ukuleles sweet and low
   Gus Kahn









1919 Pandemic Survivor

After a year of this pandemic,
I'm either going out
for ice cream or
to commit a felony.
I'll decide in the car.



















Why buy it for $7
when you can make it
yourself with $92
of craft supplies?




Let's Meet For A Drink!








I still have a full deck...
I just shuffle slower.

Hocus Focus

A L O H A From Honolulu!


The sound of laughter is
like the vaulted dome
of a temple of happiness.
   Milan Kundera








There is a child in
every one of us who
is still a trick-or-treater
looking for a brightly-lit
front porch.
Robert Brault










Clothes make a statement.
Costumes tell a story.
   Mason Cooley










It's all just a bunch
of hocus pocus!
  Max
      Hocus Pocus

















The farther we've gotten
from the magic and
mystery of our past,
the more we've come
to need Halloween.
     Paula Curan
