Any Patch of Sunlight

A L O H A From Honolulu!

She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:
"Winter is dead.”
A.A. Milne

Any patch of sunlight in

a wood will show you something

about the sun which you could

never get from reading books

on astronomy. These pure

and spontaneous pleasures

are ‘patches of Godlight’

in the woods of

our experience. C.S. Lewis

Ebisu,

in Japanese mythology, one of the

Shichi-fuku-jin

(“Seven Gods of Luck”),

the patron of fishermen

and tradesmen.

He is depicted as a fat,

bearded, smiling fisherman

often carrying a rod in

one hand and a tai

(sea bream—i.e., a red snapper

—symbolic of good luck)

in the other.

He is a popular Shintō deity,

and his

image is frequently seen in

shops and places of commerce.

"The ancient Greek definition

of happiness was the
full use of your powers
along lines of excellence."
John F. Kennedy

Pursue your own

brand of excellence

in your own realms

large & small

If you surrender completely to
the moments as they pass,
you live more richly
those moments.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Brown anole

Unity is

harmony among differences.
Uniformity is
one note played endlessly.

It is not happiness

that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy. David Steindl-Rast

Nothing Surprises In Dreams

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 Four ducks on a pond, A grass-bank beyond, A blue sky of spring, White clouds on the wing; What a little thing To remember for years To remember with tears! William Allingham

The most powerful
weapon on earth
is the human soul
on fire.
Ferdinand Foch

One of the characteristics
of the dream is that
nothing surprises us in it.
Jean Cocteau

Better by far
you should forget
and smile
than you should
remember and be sad.
Christina Rossetti

All my life through,

the new sights of Nature
made me rejoice
like a child.
Marie Curie

Doesn't Mean It's Wrong

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Every life transition will feel painful

and confusing. That doesn't mean

it's wrong. It's okay to let go

and not know what will come next.

The other side is never

what your mind thinks it will be.

    Cory Muscara

 Most of all, enjoy every moment

of the journey, and appreciate

where you are at this moment

instead of always focusing on

how far you have to go.

   Mandy Hale

Catharanthus roseus,

commonly known as bright eyes, Cape periwinkle, graveyard plant, Madagascar periwinkle, old maid, pink periwinkle, rose periwinkle, is a perennial species of flowering plant. It is native and endemic to Madagascar, but grown elsewhere as an ornamental and medicinal plant. It is a source of the drugs vincristine and vinblastine, used to treat cancer.

One resolution I have made,

and try always to keep,

is this: ‘To rise

above little things’.

Delight Capacity

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The capacity for delight is

the gift of paying attention.

Julia Margaret Cameron

Creativity is like a puzzle,

and people contribute

different pieces to create

a bigger picture.

Kermit the Frog

Experience nature, and

in doing so learn

about yourself. Japanese Proverb

Everyone you meet

has a child inside.

So do you and I.

Act accordingly.

Think of something

you need to do,

then don't do it.

That's relaxation!

Happiness is a process,

not an unwavering

state of rest. Shed your tear.

Then cherish your delight.

Everyday

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Live every day

as a lovely routine.

Live every day as

uniquely precious.

Live every day!

Don't worry about failures,

worry about the chances

you miss when you

don't even try.
Jack Canfield

Pain nourishes your courage.
You have to fail in order
to practice being brave.
Mary Tyler Moore

I have learned over the years

that when one's mind is

made up, this diminishes fear.

Rosa Parks

There will come a time

when you believe

everything is finished.

That will be

the beginning. Louis L'Amour

One today is worth

two tomorrows.
