BOOK 08,CHAPTER 9, PAGE 2

Aloha to learn what is not said, to see what cannot be seen & to know the unknowable.

Queen Liliakalani

The Angel of September helps us prepare for the harvest at hand. As the summer draws to a close, September's angel reminds us to pause and gather fresh strength because the culmination of a project often demands one last surge of energy.

The September angel brings us this boost, seeing us through to the fulfillment of our task. This late-summer angel also helps us recognize the fruits of our labors and share with others the bounty of what we have created in our lives.

In September, we take delight in our good fortune, whether in a garden, a relationship, or a career, and we share our joy with all those whose support has made our harvest possible 

 Aloha what does aloha mean ? it means: hello, goodbye, I love you and and a lots of other things depending on tone of voice

GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE !

Aloha opens up so many things to write about. All those emotions that make us who we are. This month I'll be sharing things about life , the seasons, the weather, love, and lots lots more.

I've been thinking about saying goodbye to summer and hello to fall. As a matter of fact we had our Labor Day family get together in the form of a luau. Everyone dressed Hawaiian and of course ate lots of good food.

The weather was absolutely tropical. Not too steamy just bright and sunny. Our temps havereally warmed up and today it is 91 degrees. Everything is still very dry and even though we got a good rain last week, we do need more.

The only bad side of our holiday was the fact that down south they had a hurricane come to ground. It wasn’t so very far from where DS#2 lives. Thankfully he is safe and sound. I was very happy to receive his call and find that out for sure.

I left the campground today about noon so now I have plenty of time to get some laundry done and get ready for my short work week. There will now only be 3 days of work and I can go back to the camper for the weekend. I could easily adapt to this kind of living.

I do hope you all had a great weekend and were all safe and sound.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

aloha can mean love, affection, compassion, mercy, sympathy, pity, kindness, sentiment, grace, charity, greeting, salutation, regards; sweetheart, lover, loved one, to love, to be fond of, .etc.

It's the way people treat each other, a way of life and a state of mind

Aloha means I love - so I say

Aloha Oe
