Outside my window… Da sun is shining and it’s choke hot

I am thinking… about my mom and Saturday coming

I am thankful for… my friends, my hānai sistas

From the kitchen… Fresh gigantic Bing cherries!

I am wearing… shorts and one puka shirt

I am creating… a stronger me

I am going… to get through this

I am reading… Motherless Daughters

I am hoping… that my veggie garden produces well

I am hearing… Lei Mānoa by Hapa

Around the house…I am still trying to declutter

One of my favorite things…is singing in Hawaiian and understanding what the words say

A few plans for the rest of the week: Seeing a friend tomorrow, going to the gym, spending time with Julie on Saturday, sitting out on the deck in my mom’s white wicker rocker and looking out over the valley and hoping I will get through Saturday okay.
