" If you

 don't see your worth, 

you'll always choose 

people who don't 

see it either. 

When your self esteem 

rises, 

your life follows. "

But positive, as Sound.

Sweet Air is Back

A  L  O  H  A!

The "Ha" in Aloha 

is the breath of life 

that we all share. 

Try it now, 

just let out a good 

'H a'

Today as is normal

Honolulu's air 

is sweet and delectable,

not too humid, 

not too dry.

Clean, sweet, breezes

 scented with perfumed people,

blossoms, restaurants, 

bakeries, and the sea.

Of course traffic

smells like traffic

anywhere.

This is Feel Good weather.

Hope YOU feel good too!

Only the window. "

I remember

Snow Days.

Blessings

from above.

Respite

from school.

Days we all 

Love!

Adventure

from the sky,

piled so high,

scattering bright light

to twinkle the eye.

Playing, sliding,

even a fall -

when we're young

are a nothing at all.

Snow 

was an adventure,

now seems like

indenture.

But SO darn pretty;

At least before

it grows

gritty.

I'm well content

with snow pictures

You show!

They bring a nice glow

of winters long ago

that helped me to grow.

[I'm one of those

who CAN DRIVE

in the snow!]

Today, we have VOG.

Blew up from  Big Isle,

makes me feel like a log.

Gone: smarts and style!

Ancient stuff.

buried for millennia, 

today

are filling me

with some sort

of phlegm-ia!

I'll say it again:

VOG makes me

DUMB;

One's sinuses feel

like a big bass drum!

But don't worry for me

it ain't nothing

but FUN!

Temps in the 70's

and nothing but

SUN!

Soon the Trade Winds

will return,

perfection unearned.

But I'll take it!

Hope you can

make it-

Till then,

Enjoy YOUR

local adventures

wherever You may be!

                    Fondly, from cloudia

That's ME!)
