Woe is Me?



My Little beachmobile is in need of repair.




The mechanics that work on her said, " Leilani, park that car and don't use it till we get it fixed".





Well,I was devastated!




I just was overwhelmed with.... "WHY ME?", "POOR ME" , "WOEEEE IS ME".


I found my self walking around my house in a funk, I'm not used to being indoors,stationary,inactive...





Then I just happened to look out my front window...














This rainbow hanging perfect out my front window created a jolting crystal clear perspective for me.....



There is NO "Woe is me", just......




Thank you!






I am an island gal....

If I look hard enough, I can always find something which I don't like about my life. Instead, I try to put that effort into finding something that I like about my life. I get to set the tone for my day.
Or at least that is my focus when I write my blog - the rest of the time...

The Splash

Image
The water in the Bay has calmed down enough for me to swim into the big cave at the bay. I enter the crystal clear water of a little bay that's sits within the Big bay and made my way toward the cave. The tides are still high, the ocean not quite ready for the low low tides of summer. I enter the big cave that is still partially filled with water. The tide is pushing me in and out of the cool cave like a ride at the carnival! In and out... in and out of the cave, all the while I'm trying like crazy to get a picture from the inside of the cave looking out. It was on my 20Th trip with the tide back into the cave that I heard the splash behind me. Now, for me a splash behind me causes my heart to immediately start racing. Why? well when sharks feed they have a certain tail movement that causes a splash. I hear the splash and my brain goes into overdrive, "LANI", my brain screams, "DON'T look back,just swim to shore".. i feel my legs getting weak.. "LAN...

Swims with Scissors

The weather here on Oahu has been yucky for the last week so I was surprised yesterday the 15th to see that the breezes had returned , the sky was blue and when i checked the surf report the waves on the North shore had calmed way down. I ventured down to the turtle rock i had been having so much fun at. I had seen the turtle below on my first day at the turtle rock. He had gotten snagged in fishing line and it was all over his neck, head and flippers. It so upset me I got out of the water, hurried into the bustling, little beach town of Haleiwa, to get the number to the turtle hot line here on the island. When i got home I threw a pair of first aid scissors in my beach bag and made a mental note that if I saw a turtle who was in trouble I would do the best i could to help. I am not a professional and I know that good intentions are not always enough. You have to KNOW what you are doing. I could hurt a turtle more than help it so i needed to use my head. He was at the rock yesterday an...
