Living is like tearing 

through a museum. 

Not until later do you 

really start absorbing 

what you saw,

 thinking about it, 

 and remembering

 because you can't 

take it in all at once.

              Audrey Hepburn

how well you are coping

with this 

highly unusual 

time!

Take a moment to notice

your quiet competence

that doesn't shout,

but speaks volumes.

Build a Little Fence

A  L  O  H  A !

There is no fence 

or hedge round time 

that has gone. 

You can go back and

have what you like 

if you remember 

it well enough.

Richard Llewellyn

Truth is always right, 

observing it guarantees 

us victory in life.

Build a little fence 

of trust around today; 

Fill the space with 

loving deeds, and 

therein stay.

Opportunity never 

sneaks up on those

who straddle the

fence of indecision.

yourself to not be 

defined by your past.

 Oscar Wilde

There is a calmness 

to a life lived in 

gratitude, a quiet joy. 

 Ralph Blum

Every time you do 

a good deed you 

shine the light a little 

farther into the dark. 

And the thing is, 

when you're gone 

that light is going to 

keep shining on, 

pushing the 

shadows back.

A    L    O    H    A  !

Although our intellect 

always longs for clarity 

and certainty, our nature 

often finds uncertainty 

fascinating. 

     Carl von Clausewitz

Gratitude is happiness  

doubled by wonder.

     Gilbert K. Chesterton

There is something 

of the marvelous in 

all things of nature.  

 

            Aristotle

Music is well said 

to be the speech 

of angels; in fact, 

nothing among the 

utterances allowed to man 

is felt to be so divine. 

It brings us near 

to the infinite.

    Thomas Carlyle

Birds sing after a storm;

why shouldn't people feel 

as free to delight in 

whatever sunlight 

remains to them?

Soul Sense

A    L    O    H    A  !

Most people know 

the physical senses, but 

a lot of people don’t know 

the soul’s senses: 

empathy, trust, intuition, 

love and harmony.

Steven Aitchison

Opportunities are often 

missed. . .

 . . .when we 

constantly focus on 

our problems.

Hawaii's Lifeline   Link

Growing up, 

books were my lifeline, 

and I owe a debt 

to those writers that 

can never be repaid. 

They saved my sanity 

and gave me a world 

I could escape to. 

 If I can pay that 

forward to 

another person, 

that's all I ask. 

Sherrilyn Kenyon

Without friends 

no one would 

choose to live, 

though he had 

all other goods.

     Aristotle

Remember:

Lasting Happiness

like wonderful, 

warm donuts,

must be made fresh 

every hour.

Keeping Calm, 

taking a beat, is 

a radically

important act.
