Seek Their Best

A  L  O  H  A !
 When we judge or criticize another person, 
it says nothing about that person; 
it merely says something about 
our own need to be critical.
                  Anonymous











1933
It is much more valuable to 
look for the strength in others. 
You can gain nothing by 
criticizing their imperfections. 
                    Daisaku Ikeda










The pleasure of criticizing 
takes away from us the 
pleasure of being moved by 
some very fine things.
             Jean de La Bruyère













 Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain 
but it takes character and self-control to 
be understanding and forgiving.
                                Dale Carnegie

Compliment To Yourself

A  L  O  H  A !

There are three ways of dealing with difference: 
domination, compromise, and integration. 
By domination only one side gets what it wants; 
by compromise neither side gets what it wants; 
by integration we find a way by which 
both sides may get what they wish. 
     Mary Parker Follett












Who we are is so much greater 
than what happened to us.
                   Mr. Pickles









No Fireplace THIS Year!

The springs, the summers, 
and the autumns slowly pass;
And when old Winter puts 
his blank face to the glass, 
I shall close all my shutters, 
pull the curtains tight, 
And build me stately 
palaces by candlelight.
       Charles Baudelaire











Gratitude is more of a 
compliment to yourself 
than someone else.

I still find each day too short 
for all the thoughts I want to think, 
all the walks I want to take, 
all the books I want to read, and 
all the friends I want to see.

Wherever you go becomes

There Are Local Rainbows Too







Some Rainbows Are Covered

of different beautiful possibilities so 
we never forget that pain and grief 
are not the final options in life.

Better Day Coming

A  L  O  H  A !
The scariest demons
of darkest night -








- Fade in the glory of
morning's good light.









Lies kill the spirit. 
But Truth cannot be
hidden forever







There have been tyrants and murderers, 
and for a time, they can seem invincible,
 but in the end, they always fall. 
Think of it--always.
             Mahatma Gandhi

A  L  O  H  A !
Three things in human life are important. 
The first is to be kind. 
The second is to be kind. And 
the third is to be kind.     
        Henry James







Some beautiful paths 
can't be discovered 
without getting lost.
 Erol Ozan











 Even if I hide myself in the deepest closet, 
in a cheetah overnight rolling bag,
you will seek me and find me 
my human companion.

I rely my on that.



















Stars don’t beg the world for attention; 
their beauty forces us to look up.
            Matshona Dhliwayo

Or down.

Positive

Very little is needed 
to make a happy life; it is 
all within yourself, in 
your way of thinking.
