Sun Shines Brightest After a Night in Jail

A   L   O   H   A !

" Live each 

season

 as it passes;

 breathe the air,

 drink the drink,

 taste the fruit, and

 resign yourself

 to the influences

 of each. "

Henry David Thoreau

If you ever spent a night in jail

even years ago

I bet you understood today's

title immediately.

This morning, I left my apt

for the first time in, days,

many days - that's all I can

definitively say.

It was the first day I could

imagine seeing another person,

or having THEM see me!

I hid behind sunglasses, under a helmet,

wore my gloves, and rode my scooter

to the post office, my usual morning 

WALK.

What a kick!

And, you know, 

Waikiki REALLY is

beautiful!

Though I have a dynamite view,

and a lanai (balcony)

there is something WONDERFUL

about moving through space!

I'm back in bed, now

surrounded by mail,

coloring outside the lines and avoiding

house work. I want to go back out there

sometime!

I'm getting better.

How's Your Thing going?

Someday, when I'm a Super-Ager

(100+) I think I'll enjoy getting about

with my levitation scooter. . . .

How do YOU fill the blank?

Too many of us worry

 about the bad that can happen;

But what if 

we lived expecting

The BEST?

I haven't been outside in days!

This Lingering Ick sure is. . . 

um, lingering.

Though clearly I am mending.

The mad dreams

have been the best part.

Yesterday, I was paling

around with a famous

baseball player.

The best one

was the long distance call

from my Dad,

though it stung a bit

when I woke

 and remembered.

Looking out my window,

reading your comments,

visiting your blogs 

(as I am able)

is the best part of 

this time of sickness.

When I was younger and on my own

I could not afford to get sick!

My car could NOT break down either!

(my old Volkswagens :)

Angels must have been helping me.

Somehow,

for years it all stayed together,

though now I recall,

my dad helped me out

on occasion

actually rolling up his sleeves

and going out to clean

the banks I had to clean.

Nice of him to look in again!

Let's spare a thought

for those one illness,

one paycheck away,

from homelessness-

Pursuing Sunny Dreams

A  L  O  H  A !

 " Pursuing dreams

not meant for us

is what brings 

suffering. "

Carolyn Myss

" Faith 

is the power 

to stand up to the

 madness 

and chaos 

of the physical world 

while holding the position 

that nothing external 

has any authority 

over what heaven 

has in mind for you. "

Caroline Myss

" There is no such thing 

as a simple act 

of compassion 

or an inconsequential

 act of service. 

 Everything 

we do for another person

 has infinite consequences. "

Having a temporary illness,

like cold or flu,

really makes me

A P P R E C I A TE

my state of  health.

"Healthy People Problems"

I call them,

temporary setbacks

that make us see

our greatest wealth

which we usually 

ignore.
