A Thankful Wahine


Today was one of those days where gratitude washes over me.  The impending holiday where the sole purpose is to pause and give thanks tends to do that to people.

Well I am thankful.  Thankful for a life with incredible blessings.  Not that it is perfect by any stretch.   My life is pretty simple.

It’s all about perception.

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”  Wayne Dyer

I used to think it wasn’t enough.  My life.  That I needed to be doing more.

So today, I will just be thankful for my simple life.  My family. My health. My loved one’s health. My house. My food. My clothes. My friends. My love for surfing.

I choose to believe my life is good.  And because I do, it is.

Here is a tiny glimpse into a Wahine Wednesday…something I am incredibly thankful for.

I found my daughter’s waterproof camera and decided to take it out. My videography skills are lacking but I’ll get better…I promise!!  The clips are short.

Pre-surf parking lot chatter…

The morning sky was amazing and seemed to get prettier the longer we were out.  Video taping while riding a wave is a newly discovered talent. 🙂

Friends were all around.  We were joined by peeps we usually surf with in Seal Beach but haven’t seen in a while because there has been minimal surf there.

Fun little waves with room to share.

And a pod of dolphin almost close enough to touch.

Life is good!  Lots to be thankful for.

This is at the end of my last ride of the day.

Happy Wahine Wednesday and Happy Thanksgiving!

  1. Wow! How cool to capture our stoke on video. I loved seeing how the sky changed from when we first got to the beach to when we finally got out. What a wonderful day it was. I am so thankful to have all the simple things in my life including my beautiful wahines and kanes. Hugs to you and Happy Thanksgiving:)
