Let The Beauty of Sunrise

A L O H A From Honolulu!

also a sunrise.
It all depends on
where you stand.

it rises for everyone.

Nothing can dim the light
which shines from within.

Silly is you
in a natural state,
and serious is
something you
have to do until you
can get silly again.

Make Your Mind an Ocean

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Morning Circle
I'm not buying the
doom and gloom.
I'm investing in faith,
hope and love. Jon Gordon



Is there a place
you can go
to break away
for a little while?
If you haven't yet
built your tree house, it's
never too late to start.
   Gina Greenlee



Birds chirping around you
is a beautiful realization that
life in incredibly good.
Let this sound be
a gentle break
in your routine.

When your mind is narrow, 
small things agitate
you very easily. 
Make your mind
an ocean.

O radiant Dark!
O darkly fostered ray!
Thou hast a joy too
deep for shallow Day.

After all this time
of listening to people
talk with masks on,
I finally understand

Important Enough

A L O H A From Honolulu!

You have to
forgive yourself
for not knowing
what you didn't know
before you learned it.

in my heart,
between each breath,
folded in the lines
of my palm.

Rose Ringed Parakeet

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Let go of what
you cannot change.
Stop reacting.
                Start living.
Outrage is a
waste of time.
Give you precious
attention to
what builds you up
and enhances you.



The rose-ringed parakeet,
also known as the
ring-necked parakeet, is
a medium-sized parrot in
the genus Psittacula, of
the family Psittacidae.
   Wikipedia




They are not
native to Hawaii,
but like it here,
and are spreading.
     Link





It was one frayed rope
thrown across the
chasm between us.
Not enough to get across,
but maybe just enough
to tell that it wasn't
as wide as I'd
originally thought.
    Maggie Stiefvater




 I sang because that is
what I do when I am
happy and when I'm sad.
I sang because it is
who I am when I am
being the best possible
version of me.
    Ally Carter





Budding Blue Ginger

You can't cross
the same street
twice.



Live your life
while you have it.
Life is a splendid gift.
There is nothing
small in it.
Florence Nightingale

Your Own Unique

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Step onto a clean slate
each morning and you
will be miles ahead
of the rest.
Michelle C. Ustaszeski











Cultivating gratitude
every morning
when you wake up
refreshed can help
your day start off
on a good note.
Rocco Cozza





There is a still higher
type of courage -
the courage to brave pain,
to live with it, to never
let others know of it
and to still find
joy in life; to wake up
in the morning with
an enthusiasm for
the day ahead.
   Howard Cosell

We Admire You!



Good luck
and bad luck
are strands of
the same rope.
  Sakura Tsukuba





Ride the energy of
your own unique spirit.

On Saturday, I went to a local
Shinto Shrine for my 
New Year Blessing.
Hawaii people celebrate one another's
cultures. While in California for
four years, I missed many such things.
Good to be home.
               Happy New Year!      Link
