Honolulu in the Winter

A  L  O  H  A  !

Leeward Oahu Winter Morning Sky

Lots of you have been showing 

pictures of winter, beautiful pictures,

and eloquently describing

what winter means to YOU.

Most folks think that we do not enjoy

seasons

here in the Hawaiian Isles

but we do. 

For example, we awoke feeling chilly

the other morning. The coldest morning

of the winter led the a.m. news:

This isn't a joke. I'm not
teasing you.
Sixty F

with dry air, feels "warm"

when you step off the plane
from cooler climes.

But we are used to

moister, more, gentle temps.
So it feels to us
like winter!
We wear our
jackets.

Weather-Guy Paul 

is showing us to wear

long sleeves today!

Shooting the TV (With a CAMERA!!!)

isn't the best, but I got this cool image below.

When watching TV, we do not "see"
what our eye registers.

Our brain always processes everything,
so we don't 

"see" the lines and transitions 
that the camera,

and our eye,

DO register.

It's all a matter of perspective.

Like EVERYTHING in life!

  Remember that.

It is why

"Walking  a mile in another shoes"

is so humbling and enlightening. 

My Grandmother used to say:

"If everyone in the neighborhood

put all their problems on the front porch

we'd all be glad

to go home with

our own."

How right she was!

But let's try to remember,

the brother or sister

wearing uncomfortable shoes,

and what it must be like

to walk in them

every day.

Warmly, cloudia

Thanks for being here-
