Hou’oli Makahiki Hou, my friends!
May the new year bring you great joy. May you swim in oceans of blessings.
********Skeet’s recipe for a joyous life*********
Revel in beauty
Even if you have to pay for it
Celebrate new life
While honoring the memory of those who have enriched your own
When life gives you the wrong end of things
Bandage your hurts and move on
Build new things
And add color to your world
Don’t turn you back on strangers, even if they’re not like you
Embrace silliness
But not at the expense of another’s dignity
Avoid the glitz
But seize life’s rich bounty
Perhaps most of all in these troubled times, find serenity
May 2007 bring the best that life has to offer to your humble abode
From my heart to yours,
skeet
Addendum: I got a lot of emails & PMs asking various questions about the photos. I’ve posted explanations here.

I hope you’ve all had a good start to your year. Mahalo for coming by to visit.
