Let's Go Beach See Rainbow

A L O H A From Honolulu!

To be happy
you must be
your own sunshine.
Charles Edward Jerningham



Let's go beach
See rainbow!
Ocean blue,
Waves crash slow.

Sky so bright,
Colors glowing.
Drink da sun,
So warm and knowing.


Barefoot in da sand,
We'll be happy and free, Grateful for dis moment,
Just you, this island,
And me.
Cloudia Charters


Dare to love yourself
as if you were a rainbow
with gold at both ends
Aberjhan




Just stay real.
Be honest with yourself.
And do the best you can.
Pixie

Simply Joy

A L O H A From Honolulu!
To the illuminated mind 
the whole world
 sparkles with light.
Ralph Waldo Emerson




It's a good thing that
when God created the
rainbow he didn't consult a
decorator or he would still
be picking colors.
Sam Levenson


Suspended high daring feat!
Canvas of glass reflections to greet.
With steady hand and focused eye,
Paints with water an azure sky.

Dances on air, delicate grace!
Master of angles,
of time, and of space.
So let us applaud
this overlooked art,
Of window washers
with grateful heart.
Pixie



Dwell within
gentle quiet flame,
With simple joy
transmute my pain.
    Cloudia Charters




What I want is so simple
I almost can't say it:
elementary kindness.
Barbara Kingsolver

Different Horizons - Different Places

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We cross the stream of life
at different places.
Some wade through the
shallows in a drought, others
have to swim across
deep waters in a storm.
Charles Edward Jerningham




I certainly don't regret
my experiences because
without them, I couldn't
imagine who or where
I would be today.
Life is an amazing gift
to those who have overcome
great obstacles, and
attitude is everything!
Sasha Azevedo





Each bird must sing
with his own throat.
   Henrik Ibsen



It's so simple to be wise.
Just think of something
stupid to say and
say the opposite.
  Sam Levenson

Time Is

 A L O H A From Honolulu!
True wisdom lies in gathering the
precious things
out of
each day as
it goes by.
E. S. Bouton



When one door closes,
another opens;
but we often
look so long and
so regretfully
upon the closed
door that we do
not see the one
that has opened
for us.
  Alexander Graham Bell





Time is a circus,
always packing up
and moving away.
Ben Hecht



It was a night so beautiful that
your soul seemed hardly able to
bear the prison
of the body.
W. Somerset Maugham





Be true, be kind,
be strong of heart. Do all you can,
play well your part. Let spirit guide
and wisdom mend. Then what you keep
is what you spend.
Cloudia Charters

How To Be A Beautiful Sunset

A L O H A From Honolulu!

To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent--that is to triumph over old age. Thomas Bailey Aldrich





A human life is a
story told by God.
   Hans Christian Andersen







Do not watch the clock.
Do what it does.
Keep going.
    Sam Levenson




Wisdom is the perception of the unimportance of the things we call great, and of the importance of the things we call small. Charles Edward Jerningham





Life is really simple,
but we insist on
making it complicated. Confucius

Paradise With Peas

A L O H A From Honolulu!

To live is so startling
it leaves little time
for anything else.
    Emily Dickinson





Mandevilla sanderi, Brazilian jasmine


We are not unhappy today
because of the complexities of life.
We are unhappy because we miss
its underlying simplicities.
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross and David Kessler


Life is like walking through
Paradise with peas
in your shoes.
Charles Edward Jerningham





The most important thing
is to enjoy your life -
- to be happy -
- it's all that matters.
   Audrey Hepburn
