After The Storm, Rainbow Cake

A L O H A From Honolulu!

After the rain, the

sun will reappear.

There is life.

After the pain, the

joy will still be here.

    Walt Disney

After a day of cloud

and wind and rain

Sometimes the setting

sun breaks out again,

And touching all the

darksome woods with light,

Smiles on the fields

until they laugh and sing,

Then like a ruby

from the horizon's ring,

Drops down into

the night. 

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Only rainbows after rain ....

The sun will always

come again.

   Andy Grammer

There, about a dozen times

during the day, the wind

drives over the sky

the swollen clouds,

which water the earth

copiously, after which

the sun shines brightly,

as if freshly bathed,

and floods with a

golden luster the rocks,

the river, the trees,

and the entire jungle.

   Henryk Sienkiewicz

Growing up, I heard

a lot about strength.

My dad -

a Holocaust survivor -

embodied it, though he

would never say that

about himself.

Not only did he survive

one of the most horrific

events in history, but

he never lost hope

along the way,

crediting acts

of kindness with

keeping him alive.

   Daniel Lubetzky

 Love comforeth like

sunshine after rain,

Love's gentle spring

doth always

fresh remain;

Shakespeare

 My soul was like a

summer evening,

after a heavy fall of rain,

when the drops are yet

glistening on the trees

in the last rays of

the down-going sun...

 George MacDonald

March 26:

Hawaii has dropped the

Mask Mandate,

[last US State to do so]

as well as pre-travel

covid testing for visitors.

Today felt different.

Hope breathed.

After tense months,

people seem relaxed.

Foreign languages are

heard once more

in Waikiki.

My mask will continue

to travel with me,

and it will be some time

before I dine publicly indoors.

Slow & Steady.

Celebrate EVERY win!

Love You,

Cloudia & Pixie
