| “Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.” — Lance Armstrong |

 “We have many occasions for giving flower leis. But instead of using flowers, I usually make whimsical leis with found objects like fabric remnants, colorful scraps of paper and plastic, old keys, bottle caps, beads, or any other small items that have been discarded. I get great joy from gifting my odd creations to friends and strangers.
The other day, I found some tiny baby eggplants at the market. I strung them together with my usual scraps and remnants and gave the eggplant lei to a friend. We had a great laugh about it. He then sauteed the eggplants with lots of onions and garlic and we ended up with a delicious lei lunch. I plan to experiment with making edible leis now, using small fruits like baby carrots, grapes, and mint leaves. How much fun will that be to give those away!!!” — ezganesha
