After Torrential Rains, Thunder, Lightning, Floods......... and Snow? Only in Hawaii! the weather started clearing up and I took a picture this morning of my last two orchid blooms that fared the weathered storm. Two died, the rest already bloomed.
I looked at the blooms and thought, "How simple but beautiful". No matter how positive my spirit is I get caught up in "junk" just like anyone else and need to get out and do something to clear my mind.
Besides, sometimes I just have to listen to some good advice and "stop letting the little things bother me". Ahhh. Don't Sweat the Small Stuff.
There are definitely other things in life to enjoy besides worry about things I have no control over.
Like...hit it to the swap meet! I went to the swap meet last week when it was just starting to rain and even the big Aloha Stadium Swap Meet had some drizzle going on. Well, if you have naturally curly hair like I do and spend time with the straigtening iron....you really don't want to be in even the slightest drizzle....because drizzle turns the hair to frizzle.
By the Way the Pro Bowl has been played at the Aloha Stadium since January of 1980. (Aloha Stadium to the right)
Because of the rains and wasting time traveling from Kam Swap Meet to the Aloha Stadium (Kam Swap meet was pouring and it definitely wasn't any fun with an umbrella) I ended up leaving early last week and didn't get some things I really wanted.
So, today was just that day to go back to the Kam Swap Meet in Pearlridge. It's actually not only a swap meet and flea market but a Hawaiian crafts, clothing, plants, jewelry, and you name it they got it kind of place ....it is also a farmer's market, seafood center, baked and cooked goods place as well. Rows upon rows of merchandise. There are even used goods (only a few stands of those in the back rows) and even Karaoke music for sale. I walked past that stand and there was a Filipino lady singing on the Karaoke to entertain us all.
So, I bought a lot of goodies for some children on the mainland as well as some other stuff I needed. Like the wonderful veggies to the left! (Gary was laughing at me when I was "staging" them for the picture)
I spent about five dollars on all those Hawaii Local Farmer grown vegetables! Tomatoes, carrots, snow peas, green beans, mushrooms, onions, and potatoes.
So, after taking the picture of those wonderful vegetables I thought...hmmm...I'll make lunch for Gary and I. (he is closing the store tonight so he's hungry)
I start chopping some of the veggies for a chicken stir fry and throw everything in the pan with a little seasoning, chili sweet sour sauce and shoyu and Voila!
Yup...ate already and boy was that good!
Now, Gary loved every bite and only after he was done eating did he speak up and say, "You just cooked so you could blog about it". That was pretty funny. .....and most likely the truth hahahahaha!
In any case, now I'm out of the funk and back on track. Printing a few Buyer Packets and trying to put together a new Seller Presentation folder.
Multi tasking with taking pictures and blogging, doing work, checking emails as the pop ups come up and now?
Aloha and have a wonderful evening and support your local grown produce, farmers and local businesses......
