One Kind Word

Take a breath of

the new dawn and

make it a part of you.

three winter months.

Calm Whatsoever

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Life is really simple, 

but we insist on 

making it complicated.

              Confucius

The positive energy

and love we give

to others, heals

our own wounds. Angie Karan

Hands joined like leaves

in sunlit air,

No task to chase,

no weight to bear.

Fingers meet,

a gentle nest,

Where worries sleep,

and hopes are blessed.

Green whispers paint

the tranquil scene,

A symphony of wind

and leaves unseen.

Heartbeats slow

to nature's drum,

Composure found,

where shadows come.

Never be in a hurry; 

do everything quietly 

and in a calm spirit. 

Do not lose your inner peace 

for anything whatsoever, 

even if your whole 

world seems upset.

            Saint Francis de Sales

If my world were to

cave in tomorrow, I would look back

on all the pleasures, excitements and

worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough

to have had... It will have been

enough. Audrey Hepburn

Love, Life, Robot Cabbage

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Love much. Earth has enough of bitter in it. Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Life, for all its privations, is a luminous thing. You have to risk it. Jeanette Winterson

Walking along I found this ring, A stainless disc, a curious thing. No brushstroke fine, no artists's hand, made these symbols

I don't understand.

Porthole on another language,

Perhaps it's just a robot cabbage?

Pixie during our California time.

Kindness is like snow - it beautifies everything it covers. Anonymous

Habits Of Thought

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Elevator Lobby - Going For My Morning Walk

 Worry is profoundly ungrateful. What a waste of all the treasures

around and within us,

of the time we have! Do not let the times we live in

dictate to us. Let's go

our own bright way and spread it around

as we are able.

Anyone who isn't embarrassed

of who they were last year

probably isn't learning enough. Alain de Botton

Crown of velvet, petals curled, Unfurl the secrets of our world,

The daily round, a passing show, Dissolves within your vibrant glow.

 I thank you, bloom,

for lessons taught, Of beauty born from

battles fought. For showing the love

in simple things, You lift my heart

on unseen wings. May I be like you,

steadfast soul, Unfurl my petals,

make me whole. To find within each

morning's embrace, Ecstatic vision,

face to face.

Our habitual thoughts

shape our perceptions. Swedenborg

So practice good

thought hygiene

as Pixie does!

If You Have a Cat

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Breathe deeply, dear soul Just let your worries fade, Embrace the mysteries of life, unafraid. In simple surrender find your truest warm, A free spirit dancing

In ever evolving form.

Many people lose the small joys

in the hope for the big happiness. Pearl S. Buck

When you've lost sight

of your path, listen for the destination in your heart. Katsura Hoshino

Your house will always be

blessed with love, laughter, and

friendship if you have a cat.

Lewis Carroll

Give Yourself Grace

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The climb is always steep

just before you

reach your goal. Holley Gerth

A lot of hard work is

hidden behind nice things.

are never rude.

Few delights can equal the mere presence of one whom we trust utterly. George MacDonald

For J.B.

Aloha Affirmations this holiday season I am proud of what I overcame

and accomplished this year I am grateful for the wisdom

that I acquired this year I give myself grace for the way

I navigated new and unexpected things this year Every moment is an opportunity

for me to make changes in my life. Every day can be a

new season for me.
