Lessons from a Christmas Tree: Be a light in the darkness. We all fall over sometimes. You can never wear
too much glitter. Bring joy to others. Sparkle and twinkle
as often as possible. It's okay to be a little tilted. Jane Lee Logan




Waikiki endured lock-down.
Our streets were empty,
Stores boarded up;
But Sunday saw the running of
the 50th Honolulu Marathon.




Mix in Christmastime hustle,
and the beach town is feeling
like herself again!

Life is a craft no one masters.
But we will see an abundance of
amazing colors, beautiful views and
stunning insights along the way.
Ricky Maye



People may talk as much as they like
about their religion, but if it does not
teach them to be good and kind
to man and beast, it is a sham. Anna Sewell

Lines

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Live out of your 
imagination instead of 
out of your memory.
             Les Brown




Moon Veiled

The walls we 
build around us to 
keep sadness out also 
keep out the joy.
               Jim Rohn




'

The line separating good & evil
passes not through states,
not between classes, nor between
political parties either - but right
through every human heart.
    Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn



Be master of your 
petty annoyances and 
conserve your 
energies for the big, 
worthwhile things. 
               Robert Service




It's a funny thing about life, 
once you begin to 
take note of the things
you are grateful for
you begin to lose sight of 
the things that you lack.
         Germany Kent

Unrestrained And Often Silly

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Santa, Frosty & Nutcracker @ Hawaii Yacht Club

Nothing ever seems too bad,
too hard, or too sad when
you've got a Christmas tree
in the living room.
Nora Roberts



Clearing away clutter is
good for the soul, because
it allows your surroundings to be a
reflection of the person you are today,
not the person you were yesterday.
       Eleanor Brownn



 Clutter is anything that
does not support
your better self. Eleanor Brownn



Probably the reason we all
go so haywire at Christmas time
with the endless unrestrained and
often silly buying of gifts is that
we don’t quite know how
to put our love into words.
Harlan Miller

Feel

A L O H A From Honolulu!


If growing up means it would be beneath my dignity to climb a tree, I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me! J.M. Barrie



Sometimes falling flat on
your face allows you to
see things from a totally
different perspective. Linda Poindexter




We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public. Bryan White




You don’t need to be
the tide to rise and fall, you don’t have to be a wave to touch the shore; just be a little sand-grain and feel them all Munia Khan

Might Never Have Been Perceived

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Make visible
what might never
have been perceived
without you. Robert Bresson



Tell me to what 
you pay attention 
and I will tell you 
who you are.
        Jose Ortega y Gasset






Cordyline fruticosa is an evergreen flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae. The plant is of great cultural importance to the traditional animistic religions of Austronesian and Papuan peoples of the Pacific Islands, New Zealand, Island Southeast Asia, and Papua New Guinea. It is also cultivated for food, traditional medicine, and as an ornamental for its variously colored leaves. It is identified by a wide variety of common names, including ti plant, palm lily, cabbage palm.

Remember some of the 
best days in your life 
haven't happened yet.

Pillow Symbol

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Every year of my life
I grow more convinced that it
is wisest and best to fix our attention on the beautiful and good and dwell as little as possible on the dark and the base. Richard Cecil





Who is the person walking
in front of you on the rain-drenched sidewalk? He is covered with an umbrella, and all you can see is a dark coat and the shoes striking the puddles. And yet this person is the hero of his own life story. He is the love of someone’s life... And then continue on your own way. Vera Nazarian





The way we choose
to see the world creates the
world we see. Barry Neil Kaufman




Oh cat, I'd say, or pray: be-ootiful cat!
Delicious cat! Exquisite cat!
Satiny cat! Cat like a soft owl,
cat with paws like moths, jewelled
cat, miraculous cat!
Cat, cat, cat, cat.
Doris Lessing




How come the dove gets to be the peace symbol? How about the pillow? It has more feathers... and it doesn't have that dangerous beak. Jack Handy

Unlikely Corners

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Follow the grain in your own wood. Howard Thurman




The good life is a process, 
not a state of being. 
It is a direction 
not a destination.
           Carl Rogers





Losers always find
reasons to be angry.
Winners look for
reasons to understand.




Lunar New Year Ahead!!

Abundance is not 
something we acquire. 
It is something 
we tune into.
             Wayne Dyer






Heaven can be found in
the most unlikely corners. 
             Mitch Albom
