“How often have I 

lain beneath rain 

on a strange roof, 

thinking of home.” 

William Faulkner

“I used to dream about 

escaping my ordinary life, 

but my life was never ordinary. 

I had simply failed to notice 

how extraordinary it was. 

Likewise, I never imagined 

that home might be 

something I would miss.” 

                      Ransom Riggs

“Perhaps home is 

not a place 

but simply an 

irrevocable condition.” 

                       James Baldwin

It has been rainy.

Like one storm

after another.

My old friend 

Pacific, just up to

her tricks

.

But California needs

 rain and everyone has a

good attitude about it.

There were those

freeze warnings,

and temps in the 

30's a while back;

I didn't sign up

for THAT!

But it was unusual

for The Bay Area,

and we are back in 

the pleasant 50's.

I'll take it - all good.

And SPRING is a

real thing here!

That will just be

awesome.

Well, today is

Gloriously SUNNY!

Blues are blue,

greens are green,

vistas unlimited,

and this Hawaii gal

is blissed out on

All of It~

Just checking in.

So far - so great!

Hope your new year

is the same!

“My heart is warm with the friends I make,
And better friends I'll not be knowing,
Yet there isn't a train I wouldn't take,
No matter where it's going.”

"The bird swam swiftly 

and gracefully toward 

the Magic Isle, and as it drew nearer 

its gorgeously colored plumage 

astonished them. The feathers were 

of many hues of glistening greens

 and blues and purples,

 and it had a yellow head 

with a red plume, and

 pink, white and violet 

in its tail.” 

                  L. Frank Baum, 

                       The Magic of Oz

Accomplishment

"You don’t need to 

win every medal

 to be successful."

"I long to accomplish a 

great and noble task, but

it is my chief duty to 

accomplish small tasks as if

they were great and noble."

                           Helen Keller

"I may not be making a million 

or building a monument, 

nor I will be a leader or

champion any field; but 

I know I have a small talent that

I can contribute to society."
