your history."

“The Greek word for 
"return" is nostos. 
Algos means "suffering." 
So nostalgia is the 
suffering caused by an 
unappeased yearning 
to return.” 
             Milan Kundera





"Magic is believing 
in yourself, if 
you can do that, 
you can make 
anything happen."

One year ago
today.

We got on a plane
at Honolulu
[after 30 years]
and flew to the 
San Francisco
Bay Area.

They say it takes
one year to 
feel at home.

So now I'm a
Hawaii girl
at home in 
Marin.

Or something. . . 

Do I long for Hawaii?
How can I when it is
such a part of me!
Thank YOU
for being part of it all!

Acceptance

A  L  O  H  A !

"If our early lessons of 
acceptance were as 
successful as our 
early lessons of anger, 
how much happier
we would all be."
                Peter McWilliams









"The days you are most uncomfortable are 
the days you learn the 
most about yourself."
                    Mary L. Bean









"Happiness is not a matter 
of intensity but of balance, 
order, rhythm and harmony."
                  Thomas Merton








Mt. Diablo

It's like I say:
Sometimes 
you climb the mountain.
Sometimes the
mountain climbs you.


But isn't it great:
we get to have
mountains to
bring awe to
our days!

Hope you enjoy
YOUr view today-

Rhymes With October

A  L  O  H  A !
"October gave a party; 
The leaves by hundreds came – 
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples, 
And leaves of every name. -




- The Sunshine spread a carpet, 
And everything was grand, 








- Miss Weather led the dancing, 
Professor Wind the band."
                    George Cooper






Find Your Joy.
Go outside if you can.
Keeping on the bright side;
That's my retirement plan.

Wishing you
a fabulous October day,

Thank You
Friend!
