What are YOUR successes??

Someone asked me "What are your successes??" I stumbled for a bit but then I came to realize that we all have successes EVERY DAY... We all start each day with a new CLEAN SLATE ... We need to make it a point to remember ...

Our lives should be lived as though we are able to do, be, or create anything we would like ... Because God gave us the power, knowledge and minds to do so ...  

So take each day and be thankful, grateful and excited for the newness that each of our days brings us ..., 

Aloha & A Hui Hou!!! 

A Catfish...... really.. 

I have a very difficult time... understanding someone, anyone... that could think sooo little of themselves.. and to be sooooo self centered and selfish.... to get caught up in so called "falling in love" with someone ... sight unseen... not actually meeting someone.. LET ALONE SENDING MONEY ... to these people....!!!!   ARE THESE WOMEN ACTUALLLY THAT COMPLETELY DESPERATE!!!  ... I DONT GET IT!!!  

After watching a current Dr. Phil show.. where they had a woman with older children who are married and had families of their own... which therefore ... given this woman precious Grandchildren... it totally made my skin crawl... to see this woman on stupid dating sites, texting boyfriends... TOTALLY IGNORING HER GRANDCHILDREN... and FOCUSING JUST ON HERSELF...

 It was very sad to see and to hear one of her sons.. said "She is acting like a teenager in heat!" Soooooo completely embarrassing and disgraceful... These women don't even deserve Grandchildren... !!!!  There are soooooo many older women out there like this ... that can't even see the forest for the trees... and ALL THEY SEE IS THEMSELVES... !  I dont at all one bit feel sorry, sympathetic.. or feel for these women.. its such a sad state of affairs ... that I cannot be around any of that.. as I have completely removed any and all negativity from my life.. and will continue to surround myself with only POSITIVE PEOPLE, SITUATIONS... AND THOUGHTS... 

As I recommend all of you ... to do the same.. in your lives.. 

It is the best ... advice .. I can offer everyone I meet and know... be THANKFUL.. for all things... and surround yourself with POSITIVE!!!

ALOHA & A HUI HOU!!!

Its ALL GOOD........

It really IS....... ALL good...

Its ALL good if we learn to stay FOCUSED.. focused on the positive.  I'm learning to keep this in mind... and keep focused... It truly is amazing how distracted you can get with life's crazy events. 

I believe when we do, stay focused, on the POSITIVE in life... good things will come... Its a little like "The Secret" surrounding yourself with the positive.

I have read and listened to the audio version of "The Secret".. and for the most part.. I agree.. but I believe people take it a bit too far.. 

Sometimes I believe people use this "secret" thing like something magic by simply  wishing and believing there will be a Mercedes in their driveway when they wake up in the morning... and then disappointed... and becoming frustrated when its not there... Don't get me wrong, its perfectly fine to focus, plan and keep centered and determined for good things to happen but that ONLY will not, MAKE things happen.  There is only one in control.. a higher being, a stronger life force... God is in control.. He has our present, past and future... in His hands... 

So "Don't Worry God is in Control".... 

stay focused, stay centered... believe and have faith...

Forever thankful... 

Aloha & A Hui Hou

It's all about GRATITUDE!!!

Be thankful, be grateful... everything counts!! I am trying to take time out...

to be mindful and thankful.. we ALL have lots to be thankful for ... I wish everyone would ta

ke time out of their day ... to write five things that they are thankful for.. just five simple or detailed

which ever you like...just take a small time out of your time ... Writing things down makes things more real, they take effect... just take a small notebook, journal,... even keep a record on your on personal computer... it doesn't matter.. just really WRITE IT DOWN.. IT REALLY DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE!! Our lives are filled with stress and tribulations of life's events..and sometimes we get carried away and let the "little " things get to us. It is truly like the saying... "It's all Good!!!"

Take time today, even if its just a moment... but please take the time.. I promise you WILL see the difference..... be thankful, be mindful, and be grateful... for we all have sooooo much to really be thankful for...

Thank you for listening... Aloha.. HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

We can't take the little things in life for granted...

Today has really left me at a loss for words...

You go through your day trying to make ends meet.. dealing with the details of your life.. relationships with your spouses, children and family. Stressing over really meaningless things. You deal with the world's business.. crime, lousy economy, companies going bankrupt, people being laid off, consistent expenses, worries about you and and your family's future.. you get frustrated when your schedule is overloaded and you miss appointments... and then WHAMMM!!! Something really hits home.. to make you realize .. that all of that stuff really doesn't matter.. there could be so many worse things to happen to us in our lives..

I just got a phone call from a friend... another Mother.. with three children.. busy family, enjoys lfe, travels with her family and visits wonderful places all over the world... enjoys life and it it has to give... we see each other at different school events.. and share the common bond of our children.. she told me that she was just diagnosed with Acute Leukemia ! I literally, didnt know what to say... I sat there on the phone completely stunned... she said she showed no symptoms but now has to go for treatments.. possibly up to three months... three months of being away from her children.. and home.. and not knowing .. not knowing if .. if she will be around to see her children grow up and graduate.. or celebrate the next holiday... I am still in total shock.. I kept thinking.. this is truly something to be concerned about.. not little things like missing appointments.. or getting frustrated in a parking lot cause we missed a parking spot closer to the front door... or getting down on ourselves for gaining weight.. LIFE IS TOOOOO SHORT PEOPLE!!! Wake up and smell the COFFEE..!!! Take time to be with your family and enjoy them.. tell them you love them, give them a hug and always remember to try to say loving, caring, encouraging words on your way out the door... you just never know.. all our lives could change completely in a split second...

Lets all take time to be thankful and grateful for all that we have been given in our lives... everyone is truly special and have special talents and gifts that we must cherish... take time and take a minute... look around you and be mindful... Life is a gift .. we must live it to the fullest!!!

Take care and send some prayers out there for all who are in need. I'm praying for you friend and your family. Aloha!
