The Spirit of Aloha...

The tropical Hawaiian breezes are calling my name, and Sunday afternoon I will answer. But while the sun, the surf, and the sand are easing my weary soul, they will be no consolation for my missing you...

Something's Missing...or Missing Something?

I know it was me who called it over, but I still wish you'd fought me 'til your dying day...don't let me get away...

-- The wise words of -- John Mayer

Proximity

The proximity of you alone exhilarates me greatly, and my smile in your company never ceases.

Spring is Near...

The crystal clear morning dawned outside my apartment, and across the water the mountains were transformed in their pink and purple hues. With the sparkling bay reflecting the rising sun, the morning had begun…

Valentine

A friend of mine stopped by a flower shop & took a picture of the most beautiful yellow roses I’ve ever seen…I found this virtual bouquet in my email inbox when I logged in this morning. It was my first Valentine of the day! Oh how I appreciated it. In fact, it now pops up each time I open my email and brings a smile to my face!

The Sitting Room

Just the other evening my friend and I were out celebrating his 33rd year. After a fabulously rich dinner (followed by equally delicious dessert), we ended our evening in a wine bar in our neighborhood. This quaint little spot provided the ideal, intimate environment for lovely drinks and delightful conversation.

Having experienced some recent difficulty in our relationship, we have decided to get back to the basics…our friendship. And as we laughed about old times & chatted about the new, I was reminded of all the things that had drawn me to him at our meeting 7 years ago. The ease of our relationship was not lost on me…

And as we left that night, we giggled in remembrance of our evening. It is not every night that we get the chance to lounge on a soft couch in the front window-seat of a dimly lit eatery while discussing upcoming trips to Italy! We felt very stylish & sophisticated for the moment, and our laughter tinkled into the night…

Happy Birthday J!

75

And now I'm sunny with a High of 75
Since You took my heavy heart and made it light
And its funny how you find you enjoy your life
When you're happy to be alive
