In Your Garden

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Happiness held is the seed;
Happiness shared is the flower.
  John Harrington






The fact that I can plant a seed
and it becomes a flower,
share a bit of knowledge
and it becomes another's,
smile at someone and receive
a smile in return,
are to me continual
spiritual exercises.
Leo Buscaglia



Nobody sees a flower really;
it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time. Georgia O'Keeffe



Don’t let the tall weeds
cast a shadow on the
beautiful flowers
in your garden.
    Steve Maraboli

Three Tigers

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Everything  you believe 
affects everything 
that comes to you.
     Abraham Hicks



To myself I am
 but a small child 
wandering upon the vast shores 
of knowledge, every now 
and then finding 
a small bright pebble 
to content myself with.    
 Plato



There's no such thing as an uninteresting life. Mark Twain


Joy, rather than happiness,
is the goal of life...
It is based on the experience
of one’s identity as a being
of worth and dignity.
Rollo May


Believe that life is worth living,
and your belief will
help create the fact. William James

Pin It With A Star

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The Moon's Beautiful Mind

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Appreciate the Moon's
beautiful mind. Evelyn L. Eubanks





Everything is irrelevant but this: to embrace life. To feel it. To savor it. To love it. Marty Rubin

Always Return

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Why not show off
if you've got
something to show?
January Jones



Common waxbill (Estrilda astrild)
Native to Africa. Seen in Hawaiʻi since late 1970s.

In searching for myself,
I have created myself.
     Ljupka Cvetanova



 Vintage signs,
 sweet and fine.
Unfolding memories
In my cinema mind.

Old styles whisper
Tales of youth,
Remind us of
Beloved truths

Retro charm,
Nostalgia gleams
Igniting memories
Of cherished dreams.
   Cloudia Charters




The reflections we send out 
always return.

Tide Abide: A Little Farther Up The Shore

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Life's a force
The rising tide.
Ride the storms
You will abide.

Feel the power
Will to soar,
Open your wings
Dare to explore. 



Let nothing dim That inner light, Invincible So pure and bright! Wild and deep. My soul to keep. Dreams may sing When mountains sleep.

Spirit’s a fortress Defend the land. Rest your worries In the hollow
Of God's hand.

You are enough Brilliant and bold. Your story’s still writing Much yet to unfold.



With every challenge
May you rise and grow,
By radiant power
In steadfast glow.  
    Cloudia Charters





The secret to success
is to be in harmony
with existence, to
always be calm, to
let each wave of life
wash us a little farther
up the shore.
    Cyril Connolly
