Blessings

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness... you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week. If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ... you are ahead of 500 million people in the world. If you can attend a church or meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death ... you are more blessed than three billion people in the world. If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep ... you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace ... you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
Happy Earth Day to all peoples...forever grateful, Colleen

Celebrate Earth Day..Go Surf!!

OAHU-400 AM HST WED APR 22 2009
Surf along north facing shores will be 6 to 9 feet today.
Surf along west facing shores will be 1 to 3 feet today.
Surf along east facing shores will be 4 to 7 feet today.
Surf along south facing shores will be 3 to 5 feet today.
Outlook through Monday Apr 27: the north northeast swell may cause surf heights to approach the high surf advisory threshold of 8 feet along east facing shores late tonight or Thursday. No other significant swells are expected.

Surf heights are forecast heights of the face or front of waves. The surf forecast is based on the significant wave height in the zone of maximum refraction. Some waves may be more than twice as high as the significant wave height. Expect to encounter rip currents in or near any surf zone.

Happy Earth Day Everyone!

Carlen and I rode our bikes to the Surfrider meeting last night, it was funny..our "room" was taken and they had to put us in the bar, so free drinks n puupuus. It was wonderful really. I loved it and felt inspired and so proud of Carlen for getting us there. Thanks beautiful.
