Rose Ringed Parakeet

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Let go of what

you cannot change.

Stop reacting.

                Start living.

Outrage is a

waste of time.

Give you precious

attention to

what builds you up

and enhances you.

The rose-ringed parakeet,

also known as the

ring-necked parakeet, is

a medium-sized parrot in

the genus Psittacula, of

the family Psittacidae.

   Wikipedia

They are not

native to Hawaii,

but like it here,

and are spreading.

It was one frayed rope

thrown across the

chasm between us.

Not enough to get across,

but maybe just enough

to tell that it wasn't

as wide as I'd

originally thought.

    Maggie Stiefvater

 I sang because that is

what I do when I am

happy and when I'm sad.

I sang because it is

who I am when I am

being the best possible

version of me.

You can't cross

the same street

twice.

Live your life

while you have it.

Life is a splendid gift.

There is nothing

small in it.

Your Own Unique

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Step onto a clean slate

each morning and you

will be miles ahead

of the rest.

Michelle C. Ustaszeski

Cultivating gratitude

every morning

when you wake up

refreshed can help

your day start off

on a good note.

Rocco Cozza

There is a still higher

type of courage -

the courage to brave pain,

to live with it, to never

let others know of it

and to still find

joy in life; to wake up

in the morning with

an enthusiasm for

the day ahead.

   Howard Cosell

We Admire You!

Good luck

and bad luck

are strands of

the same rope.

  Sakura Tsukuba

Ride the energy of

your own unique spirit.

On Saturday, I went to a local

Shinto Shrine for my 

New Year Blessing.

Hawaii people celebrate one another's

cultures. While in California for

four years, I missed many such things.

Good to be home.

Insubstantial Oceans

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Each morning

we are born again.

What we do today is

what matters most.

Buddha

Give every day

the chance to become

the most beautiful

day of your life.

   Mark Twain

The first hour

of the morning

is the rudder

of the day.

    Henry Ward Beecher

We think of the present

as the tiny, insubstantial

 razor's edge

between the ocean of the past

and the vast unknown space of

tomorrows without end.

 

We trick ourselves into devaluing

the present moment

- really all we have -

to the point where

we completely miss it!

Don't rob yourself

of your real wealth.

The Present

is the ocean.

Here is

where we breathe.

Quarters and Pennies

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Things were launching

themselves from

the ornate sunburst spires,

glittering leech shapes made

of shifting planes of light.

There were hundreds of them,

rising in a whirl, their

movements random as

windblown paper

down dawn streets.

William Gibson

 Joy is uncaused and arises

from within as

the joy of Being.

It is an essential part of

the inner state of peace,

the state that has been called

the peace of God. It is

your natural state,

not something that you need

to work hard for or

struggle to attain.

Eckhart Tolle

If you surrendered

to the air,

you could ride it.

  Toni Morrison

It's the ride of life

the journey from

here to there, living and

loving every moment like

we have none to spare.

Jess "Chief" Brynjulson

Be careful who you

call your friends.

I'd rather have

four quarters than

one hundred pennies.

    Al Capone

Be softer with you.

You are a breathing thing.

A memory to someone.

A home to a life.

Chinese New Year/

is my favorite time! Photo is

from 2019. This year, again, 

will be observed more quietly.

But I WILL hear dancing lions

even feed them lucky dollars.

begins the 

Year  Of  The  Tiger!

After a period of rain & wind

these glorious skies

uplift my mood and soul!

Spring Feelings. . .

I was cursed or blessed with

a prolonged adolescence;

I arrived at some seeming maturity

when I was past thirty. It was only

in my forties that I really began

to feel young. By then

I was ready for it.

By this time I had

lost many illusions,

but fortunately not

my enthusiasm, nor

the joy of living, nor my

unquenchable curiosity.

   Henry Miller

Even if you cover the

whole world with darkness,

you can never stop the

sun from rising.

     Debasish Mridha

Living is an art,

it's not a science. You make it up as you go along. Al Hirschfeld

Taking Notes

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Sunrise paints the sky

with pinks and the

sunset with peaches.

Cool to warm.

So is the progression

from childhood to old age. Vera Nazarian

A true change of 

heart is much more 

powerful than a 

change of mind.

           Kyle Bryant

Greet this day 

the way it has 

greeted you; with 

open arms and 

endless possibility. 

        Steve Maraboli

I will love the light for 

it shows me the way, yet 

I will endure the darkness 

because it shows me the stars.

             Og Mandino 

The rough must always 

accompany the smooth. 

Without one or the other one 

learns nothing about oneself.

              Solange Nicole

When your heart speaks 

take good notes.
