Oh my. That looks like a California beach but what do I know? (apart from you labeled the post with California!). Where is that? I might be there in a couple of weeks!

Looks like CA to me, maybe around LA? Those mountains in the background look like the ones north of LA.

I'm going to be there in a couple of weeks. I can't wait...

Can you tell I'm exited?

I hope the weather is warmer for you when you get here, Tom, because it's FREEZING now. Omg. Weird!!

Nice pic, Keera. :)

In northern Ohio, US it is 70 on the last day of February. The crocuses are already up and I've seen hints of daffodils. In Trinidad, CA, where I lived for ten years it was 39 this morning and they are forecasting snow. The world is going crazy.

Tom, well done! It's Venice Beach looking towards Santa Monica and her mountains.

Paula, thanks! Is it freezing like it did last year? Because that was very strange! Of course, a heatwave at Christmas is strange, too.

Elyrest, we're headed for an earlyish spring in Norway, too. The snow's almost gone in our mountains which is way too soon.

Alice and Jono, say hi to Tom when you meet him on the warm, sunny beach! I have to stay put for a bit. :-)

It's another four days until I'm back in CA. Wish I could take back the "exited" comment and replace it with "excited"!

I've seen the weather forecast so it looks as though CA is as cold as the UK for the time being but that's nice - good beaches without the sun-worshiping surfer dudes. I'm fine with that!

In the meantime I'm just loving the English countryside but am hoping to take a picture or two of the California coast in flower season next week!

Hope you had a great time in CA, Keera!

Prologue : I am no longer on partial sick leave. I am considered well and am back to work 100%! I have new tasks but am the master of my day, even though my work calendar has never been as full as it is now! Now: I was tasked with teaching some part-time workers about what a beta tester does at work, the temporary position I was in for over 18 months while on partial sick leave. And having not ever done this before, I was easily driving myself crazy. Eventually, after trying to plan the lesson and more or less succeeding, I got to a point where I started to settle down. Where I realized that it was hard to know if I was doing this right because it had never been done before. There is no measure for success for this yet. It started with a couple of things: A visit to my doctor's where I realized that "Trust, not doubt" (in Norwegian: "Tillit, ikke tvil") was my new mantra or motto. That was followed by an instruction from an online course that read, ...

Oh, is that why!

I subscribed to an online Page-A-Day calendar last year, and for Valentine's, they gave me a code to subscribe to one for free this year. So I opted for the Fact or Crap calendar. Browsing January, I got the answer to a puzzlement: Why do you see the whole moon even when it's new? Y'know, you look up, see that bare line of a crescent, but can also make out the rest of the circle, the rest of the moon. Why isn't the dark part completely invisible? Earthshine, that's why. Just like the moon, the Earth reflects sunlight, too - enough to let you make out the whole moon even when it's dark. The strength of the earthshine depends on Earth's cloud cover. I knew the Earth reflected light, like the moon, if not as well; I just never realized that was why a new moon is visible. UPDATE: There was a derailment in the comments; two trains of thought couldn't stay on the same track. My American pop culture references do not extend to TV-series of the 1950...

Some time last month, I was listening to a new spiritual podcast, and the speaker said that we can all heal ourselves and each other by stating, "I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you." Apparently, this series of four short statements healed all the patients of a psychiatric facility, simply by being uttered by a doctor while he was looking at the patient files. I was intrigued. So I googled the phrase and discovered it comes from a Hawaiian spiritual ritual called ho'oponopono .* I found a blogpost that described this "cleaning" process. I found an online article claiming that you can heal the whole planet with ho'oponopono because everything that comes into your sphere of experience is your responsibility.** I searched Amazon for books describing ho'oponopono. I bought Mable Katz 's book "The Easiest Way" .*** And her title may not be an exaggeration. After reading her short book, I have replaced my usual rit...
