Therefore I Know Triumph

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 Live your life now

so that whatever

you do gives

some sunshine... Stephen Richards

To be forever

looking beyond is

to remain blind

to what is here. Alan Watts

I believe a kid who is

playing is not alone.

There is something

brought alive during play,

and this something,

when played,

seems to play back. Lynda Barry

Your "Special"

is not your clothes,

Your pose, or being

given a rose.

Your Special was

before all that

arose.

Thank you for my unique life.

I have known suffering,

therefore I know triumph.

Have been lonely

therefore I appreciate the

people in my life.

I have been seriously ill.

Therefore I am grateful

everyday for my health.

Many of my friends did not

survive beyond young adulthood.

Therefore I am grateful

for my age.

Thank you for

bringing us

to this day.

Rain To Sun Hearts Run

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Windward Oahu, Valeri Michaels, Kaneohe

The richness of the rain

made me feel safe

and protected;

Dreaming Weather

- I have always considered

the rain to be healing

—a blanket-

the comfort of a friend.

Without at least some rain

in any given day, or

at least a cloud or two

on the horizon, I

feel overwhelmed by

the information of sunlight

and yearn for the vital,

muffling gift of falling water.

Douglas Coupland

Sunshine

on my shoulders

makes me happy,

sunshine in my eyes

can make me cry.

Sunshine on the water

looks so lovely,

sunshine

almost always

makes me high.

        John Denver

Erythrina crista-galli,

often known as the

cockspur coral tree, is

a flowering tree in

the family Fabaceae,

native to Argentina,

Uruguay, southern Brazil

and Paraguay. It is

widely planted as a

street or garden tree

in other countries-

Kindness is the sunshine

in which virtue grows.
   Robert Green Ingersoll

A Sweating Cold Drink

is Welcome

on a

Sunny Hot Day!

When thou smilest,

my beloved,

Then my troubled heart

is brightened,

As in sunshine

gleam the ripples

That the cold wind

makes in rivers.

    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 

             ‘The Song Of Hiawatha’

After the rain,

the sun

will reappear...

...the joy will

still be here.

      Walt Disney

Yoo Hoo!

Cloudy Beach Beauty

A L O H A From Honolulu!

But isn’t it terrific

when you’re with someone

who can bring out

your best self?

Robyn Carr,

                 "Four Friends"

Kindness & Happiness

travel together.

Inhabiting the present

moment, fully

aware and grateful,

inoculates you

against worry. 

Political divisions

are dogmatic mazes.

Go higher to see

the whole picture.

I almost wish we were

butterflies and liv'd but

three summer days -

three such days with you

I could fill with more

delight than fifty

common years

could ever contain.

 John Keats

Never lose your joy!

The picture is bigger

than any of us

can comprehend.

All we can do is

value each other and

enjoy our lives.

To treat others with

love is a potent

response to hate

Just do what you can

where you are.

Have a heart.

Just protect it from

breaking which

helps no one.

Soft Fine Dream

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The air was soft,

the stars so fine,

the promise of

every cobbled alley

so great that I thought

I was in a dream.

  Jack Kerouac

Feast the heart

with what it craves, 

short of cruelty, 

and let the

world wonder.

   Reynolds Price 

Sit in reverie, and

watch the changing

color of the waves

that break upon the

idle seashore of the mind

   Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

He does not need opium.

He has the gift of reverie.

   Anais Nin

Knowing that the

other person is angry,

one who remains

mindful and calm

acts for his own best

interest and for the

other's interest, too.

    Buddha

People say that work kills,

for me work kept me alive,

I kept working until

I was 108. People should

help each other and

love each other

instead of hating.

If we shared all that,

things would be a lot better. 118-year old French nun

Sister André, Guinness World Record oldest person

Less Pouring More Fullness

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Whether the glass

is half empty or

half full depends.

Are you emptying 

or filling it?

Fill your cup

today!

Be the calm place.

First for yourself

Then watch it spread!

Trust the universe's

gift to you:

Yourself!

Have a genuine

and relaxed smile.

A smile that lingers

and lingers,

includes your eyes,

evolving the grace

of your face.

Reposing, blooming

again and again. . .

and often!

Your grace, patience,

and loveliness are

a powerful tonic in

this hectic, too often

hurting world.

Everyone is susceptible

to acceptance,

to listening,

and to Aloha.
