sentiments 
in the world weigh less

A legacy is etched

they share about you. ”

Saturday Bliss

A  L  O  H  A   from   Honolulu!

 is the kind you can
 sit on a porch swing with, 
never say a word, and
 then walk away feeling 
like it was the best 
conversation 
you've ever had. "

The Merry Month
is light on her feet,
splashing with color
our souls to entreat.

Her pipes!  Her pipes!
Can you still hear?
Pay heed with joy
then, till your 
"You"
reappear.

They call it Spring
for JUST this thing-

I love You,
playmate-

Expect The Best

A  L  O  H  A   from   Honolulu!

" Expect the best, 
plan for the worst, and 
prepare to be surprised. " 
 Denis Waitley







" Expect the best.
Prepare for the worst
Capitalize on what comes. "
                                 Zig Ziglar













Don't let today 
be governed by 
yesterday's issues or
 tomorrow's worries. 
Start each new day 
on the right foot, 
expect the best!





“ If you treat an individual 
as he is, he will 
remain how he is. 
But if you treat him 
as if he were 
what he ought to be
 and could be, 
he will become 
what he ought to be 
and could be. "
                          Goethe







" The world in which 
we live and work, 
is a mirror of 
our attitudes 
and expectations. "

Of Fence

A  L  O  H  A   from   Honolulu!
Railings are little sky fences

“ Dwell on 
the beauty of life. 
Watch the stars,
 and see yourself
 running with them.” 
                               Marcus Aurelius








Why 
am I taking this picture?
When would it 
EVER be
appropriate
to use it?











The gate is open! It's never open.
Gotta shoot THAT.

But what am I ever
going to do with
these toilet pictures?










Just then,
I noticed a fellow 
working in the yard.

He saw me shooting,
and rushed over -
NOT to throw me out;
But to POSE!

The photo below
is the reason
for this entire post -

No offence! OK?




Strangers
are just friends
you haven't
met yet














“ We sometimes encounter people, 
even perfect strangers, 
who begin to interest us
 at first sight, somehow 
suddenly, all at once, 
before a word 
has been spoken. ”
                           Fydor Dostoevsky
