It is almost impossible

to watch a sunset

and not dream.

So many things

are unimportant.

You’re wise when

you focus on the

few that truly are.

Maxime Lagacé

Barleria repens, also known as the 

Coral Creeper or Small Bush Violet

We don't even know

how strong we are

until we are forced to bring

that hidden strength forward. 

The human capacity for

survival and renewal

is awesome.

   Isabel Allende

Difficult roads often lead

to beautiful destinations.

The best is yet to come.

Beautiful Tide

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

If you can feel that 

staying human 

is worthwhile, 

even when it can’t have

any result whatever, 

you’ve beaten them.

    George Orwell

 A smile is a curve that sets everything straight. Phyllis Diller

Happiness cannot be 

traveled to, owned, 

earned, worn or consumed. 

Happiness is the 

spiritual experience of 

living every minute 

with love, grace, 

and gratitude.

Denis Waitley

The most beautiful tide
is the sweep of your heart
against mine.

Morning Choice

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

Before the lists,

before the race,  

Let quiet moments

Set the pace.  

Not rushing in,

But stepping slow,  

Prepare to greet

Dawn's soft, gold glow.

Breathe your thanks

For waking here,  

For light that's drawing  

Oh so near.  

This choice to pause

And simply be 

Will shape your hours

Like a bonsai tree 

When morning unfolds 

With gentle grace,  

Calmness clears

A sacred space.  

One quiet thought

Can change the scene 

Today I can birth 

A better dream.

    Cloudia Charters 

A fit body, a calm mind, 

and a house full of love. 

These things cannot be 

bought—they must 

be earned.

Naval Ravikant

If in our daily life
we can smile, if
we can be peaceful
and happy, not only
we, but everyone
will profit from it.
This is the most basic
kind of peace work.
Thich Nhat Hanh

Appreciate every moment
because this moment
is your precious life.
An appreciation of what
you have brings the
ultimate abundance
in your life.
Debasish Mridha

To The Day

 A L O H A  From

All the windows

of my heart -

I open to the day.     

   John Greenleaf Whittier

 Instead of letting the

hard times

get me down, I've learned

to keep going, to look for the hidden good. Paul J. Meyer 

Be like a palm tree by

the ocean that endures

the greatest winds

because it knows how

to gracefully bend.

Stephen Kendrick

When life is sweet,

say thank you and celebrate. When life is bitter, say thank you

and grow. Shauna Niequist

Don't worry About Lesser Things. Just Keep Rising.

 A L O H A  From

There is only one way 

to happiness 

and that is to 

cease worrying 

about things which are 

beyond 

our control.

            Epictetus

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  

Secret To Longevity: Eat your vegetables, have a positive outlook, be kind to people, and smile. Kamada Nakazato, Okinawan centenarian

We shall find that the

spheres God brings us into

are not meant to teach us

something but to

make us something. Oswald Chambers

Confer That Pleasure

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

When given the choice
between being right
and being kind,
choose kind.
Dr. Wayne Dyer

Remember
there's no such thing
as a small act of kindness.
Every act creates a ripple
with no logical end.
Scott Adams

You find yourself refreshed by
the presence of cheerful people.
Why not make an honest effort
to confer that pleasure
on others?
Lydia M. Child

Come, sit with me now.

We'll gaze at the falling sun

as it grazes this horizon for,

I want to talk about simple

nothings and silent stirrings,

and wild things with someone

who means everything.
