Plenteous

 A L O H A  from

H O N O L U L U

In stillness joy unfolds,  

Whispers to the heart,  

Dawn awakens the flowers 

Inspiring the soul’s own art...

Breathe deep,

Let silence bloom,  

A smile within

Evaporating gloom...

Let worries drift

Like autumn leaves

In joy’s embrace

My spirit weaves,  

A tapestry of peace

By grace.

So smile inwardly

Let it grow,  

A river of light

In joy’s sweet flow.

     Cloudia Charters 

Christmas is not a time 

nor a season, but 

a state of mind. 

To cherish peace and goodwill, 

to be plenteous in mercy, 

is to have the real 

spirit of Christmas.

    Calvin Coolidge

 "The Voices of Angels"

A L O H A  From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

 When we open our hearts, 

angels appear in the 

form of guiding voices, 

helping us find our way 

in the darkness of life.

   Paulo Coelho

 Here comes Santa 

in a red canoe

Paddling on a magic sea of blue

With a stocking full of joy 

for every girl and boy

Here comes Santa in a red canoe

It's Christmas in Aloha Land

On a sandy beach as white as snow

And little children understand

Santa Claus is on the go, go, go, go

Here comes Santa in a red canoe

Paddling on a magic sea blue

With a ho`omalimali 

Merry Christmas to you

Here comes Santa in a red canoe.

The voice of an angel 

is a melody that carries 

the whispers of hope, 

the echoes of love, and the

promise of a brighter tomorrow.

 Septimus Winner

Whispering Hope, song written in 1868

Your heart is the 

correspondent 

of your soul. 

It knows the 

grooves of joy.

     Karen Ruimy

Sometimes, 

when the world is silent, 

you can hear the soft, 

soothing voice of your 

guardian angel, whispering 

words of comfort and guidance.

Aloha From Honolulu

I really just want to be warm yellow light that

pours over everyone I love. Conor Oberst

Firemen never die, 

they just burn forever in 

the hearts of the people 

whose lives they saved.

   Susan Diane Murphree

 Remember that everyone

you meet is afraid of

something, loves something

and has lost something. H. Jackson Brown

There are glimpses

of heaven

to us in every act,

or thought,

or word, that

raises us

above ourselves.

Robert Quillen

Be faithful to that

which exists

within yourself.

 A L O H A from

Honolulu

Nobody cares how much 

you know, until they know 

how much you care. 

Theodore Roosevelt

The human capacity for 

burden is like bamboo – 

far more flexible than you’d 

ever believe at first glance.

Jodi Picoult

Let us not seek the 

Republican answer or 

the Democratic answer, but 

the right answer. Let us not 

seek to fix the blame 

for the past. 

Let us accept our 

own responsibility 

for the future. 

    John F. Kennedy

Nothing is impossible, 

the word itself says 

'I'm possible'! 

Audrey Hepburn

A Curious Enjoyment

A L O H A From

Honolulu

Grey skies are just 

clouds passing over.

      Duke Ellington

Now is the time of

the illuminated woods, 

every leaf glows 

like a tiny lamp; 

one walks through 

their lighted halls 

with a curious enjoyment.

               John Burroughs

If you care for an orchid,

It's beauty will reward you.

Petals open.

Fragrance 

fills your room.

Even delicate things,

Can be beautiful 

and strong.

  Barb Schmidt

We lose ourselves in 

the things we love.  

We find ourselves 

there, too.

That Happy Feeling

 A L O H A  From

 Clouds are free, 

they are one of 

the freest things in nature, 

they just float around 

and have a good time.

What do you call a T-Rex

Always keep that 

happy attitude. 

Pretend that you are

  Earl Nightingale

On the single

strand of wire strung 

to bring our house electricity, 

grackles and starlings neatly 

punctuated an invisible sentence.

Roll Easy With Change

Morning breathes

Like rivers

Long set routines

wind their way.

Now change is here.

There's bound to be 

Turbulence

But even this

Has it's place.

To dance with change

Not be crushed by it

Turning from what we know

With grace.

Let go of roots

No longer growing.  

The heart beats steady

Calm is still flowing.

Growth quietly blooms

But sometimes it booms!

So trust  and flow

We are leaves

In the stream,  

On currents of change

Finding new dreams.  

With grace as our guide

Let's step into light,  

Embracing the change 

Of our days

With fresh sight.

With Me and Be

 A L O H A  from
H O N O L U L U

True wisdom comes to

each of us when we realize 

how little we understand 

about life, ourselves, and 

the world around us.

   Socrates

A negative attitude is

below the horizon, 

a place for 

lonesome hearts.

T. F. Hodge

We are safe...Come 

with me and be in 

the present moment.

  Thich Nhat Hanh

In a world of roses 

be a heliconia!

The older I get, 

the greater power I 

seem to have to 

help the world; 

I am like a snowball - 

the further I am rolled 

the more I gain.

      Susan B. Anthony
