It’s cold here, and the wind is not helping. I know that one person’s cold is another person’s “warm winter,” but this wind is cutting through 2 layers of clothing.

Searching For The Sun.
Saturday, March 9, 2019
With it being my wife’s birthday today, we headed over to the south side of the island to find some sun - it has been cold & wet of late - and shelter from the wind. We found a small, quiet beach and spent a couple of hours there. The warmth of the sun creeping into our bones felt healing and restorative. I unintentionally left my phone in the car, but there was a blessing.
Eating late after a long day. A day that included co-facilitating a men’s circle in the local jail. Always so rewarding. While I see benefit that inmates gain from the group, it also serves me in so many ways. Gratitude.
When my mind feels shaken and stirred
Tuesday, March 5, 2019
I had a quiet morning working at home by myself. A good friend came by around lunchtime and so I stopped for a bite to eat. Before too long we are engaged in animated conversation and the subject matter turns to something that got us both worked up - not at each other, just about what we are talking about. I’m now trying to return to work, but my mind is feeling like a shaken up glass of dirty water that has just been placed back on the table.
Some days just feel difficult.
Just for a day...or twelve.
Sunday, March 3, 2019
I have just realized this. Today is one of the twelve days during the year when the date, written in xx/xx/xx format, can be read the same regardless of whether you are from the UK or USA. 3/3/19. The others are 1/1/19, 2/2/19, etc…through to 12/12/19. Clarity on both sides for a day!
Just the act of writing something down that I need to remember, for me in my Bullet Journal, is liberating. Even if I can’t get to it in that moment, the thought is out of my head. My mind is freed up, I can focus on what I am doing, and it is waiting for me when I am ready.
Big sky this morning. Using it to clear my head and expand my mind, in breaks from the computer.
Power outage. It is very dark out there.

While the world is waking up, find some time to sit quietly.

I don’t think that I could have managed this monotonous data entry job today without heavy rain and mist outside.
I’m curious if anyone here on M.B turn off their phones in the name of productivity? I do when I feel as though I just want to concentrate on one thing, very good reason aside ie family illness. When I do turn it off, I can notice a sense of guilt of disconnection creep in!
Saturday night sitting by a fire with family and neighbors, toasting marshmallows. The air was so still and above us an ink black sky was covered in stars.
Listening to Jazz for a Sunday Morning while drinking coffee and easing into the day. 🎵
The power of a migraine to bring a day to a halt! And in the worst case, three days.

A beautiful sunset, filling the sky with a red glow, at the end of a very, very wet day.

It’s a very wet day here today. It hasn’t stopped raining since we woke up, and not just a light drizzle! ☔️
Grey, a thick mist and raining. I feel like I am half way up a mountain and not a 100 feet or so above sea level. A good day though just to hunker down and work. Feeds my soul.
“Are you listening to your intuition?” I ask myself.
Reminding myself of early mornings, of the birds singing and the whales leaping, as the day’s demands start to appear. Simple joys are always there. …Stop, breathe, look, listen….
Hand grinding coffee beans ready for tomorrow morning.
That particular feeling of tiredness that comes of having spent a good part of the weekend in the garden. Sleepy, slow, lethargic…and satisfied.
The clouds have parted and revealed snow covering the summit of Haleakala. I have never seen so much up there. I’d consider driving up, but it is probably blowing a gale up there and also a traffic jam to see such a rare event.
Calm after the storm. Waking up to a much more settled world following yesterday’s very strong winds - some wind & rain forecast for later. I haven’t seen anything like it before. A few scrapes & scratches out there, but overall I am grateful for how we came out of it.
8:45pm and the power has just come back on. It has been out through the afternoon. We have had very strong winds here, and the surf has been quite something to see, with cars parked everywhere as people stop to watch. Apparently there is another day of this weather.
3″ of Snow Forecast on Maui Summit at Haleakalā. Yes, it is cold here on Maui this weekend. Admittedly Haleakala’s summit is 10,000ft above where I live, but there is a cold, biting wind down here at sea level.
Strange clouds over Maui. Does anyone know what this sort of cloud is called and/or signifies in terms of weather conditions?
Any recommendations for domain hosts? I’m looking to transfer a domain and would appreciate what this community suggests.
The sky is still blue and the sun is out, but the winds are building. A storm is apparently on the way, and I wouldn’t disbelieve that forecast right now.
Cooking dinner over a fire last night…then the rain landed!
