Another beautiful day in Paradise......

-


This is just before sunrise. The sky was brilliant pinks and blues.















This is a few minutes later, the colors are intensifing...















Here is the sun just breaking the horizon.
















Moving higher into the sky.












And it's up.











This is taken with my digital zoom and you can see the sun is rising over Haleakala on Maui. If it wasn't so hazy you could see Maui and Molokai.









I know I post a lot of sunrise pictures but this is my absolute favorite time of day and I just never get tired of looking at it. I walk the dogs everyday at sunrise and I just love it. It's so quiet and peaceful and watching the sun come up is watching the beginning of a new day. It seems full of hope and possibility and no one has had the chance yet to screw it up. I am all about possibilities and new starts and the sunrise to me is the ultimate new start. Yeah, I'm a big New Year's freak too. I don't make resolutions but it's like a clean slate. It's like a blank sheet of paper waiting for me to write my story and my story can be anything I want it to be. The past is the past and the future is mine to create. I look forward to New Year, a new month, a new week, and a new day. Every one is a chance to start anew and make the most of it.. Have a fantastic day.

Flo!

I am so happy to have another blog to read. Isn't it terrible though that none of us actually talk anymore? Great pictures! I have to say even though I don't think about missing Hawaii I still miss Hawaii. Ya know?

You're making us awfully envious, shivering here on the mainland!

I just ordered some beautiful protea from Maui for some folks for Christmas. Should have ordered some for myself, too!

There are many ways to measure success,

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young...

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien...

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
