When I began my Freshman year at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM), I was scared. I wondered if I’d fit in. I wondered if I’d even be liked, since, most of my life, my classmates didn’t seem to like me much. I dormed in Hale Lokelani (a part of the Hale Aloha Towers)....https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Admiration/789771You guys are amazing! You lift me up when I am feeling down.

Thank you so very much to you all!https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Admiration/789636Back when I was a Freshman in high school, I met a girl, Amy, in band class. She sat next to me in the flute section. She was a beautiful, outgoing, funny, and smart young lady. We took a liking to each other almost instantly. After talking for a few days, she confessed that she thought a boy in...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Admiration/752120I have known this person practically all my life. In junior high we'd walk to PE together singing the jingle of a local store's radio commercial. She has ALWAYS accepted me for who I am and never judged me on my appearance, intellect, sense of humor, or, well, anything! And this, alone, has meant...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Admiration/721941We all live our own lives. We all have our own perspectives. We all see people in our own unique way.

I never wanted to be judged by others who didn’t know me, but I judged Lori by the actions...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Admiration/719484My great-aunt LaVerne, or Auntie, as we all call her, had a massive stroke over the weekend. She is still alive, but just barely. She cannot swallow, therefore cannot eat or drink on her own. She was talking at first--in garbled sentences--but now she cannot speak. She signed a DNR prior to this,...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Admiration/714644My son. My heart. My life. This tiny being brings me more joy than I ever thought possible.

He may be only 15...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Admiration/651529A Secret Scrolls message from Rhonda Byrne Creator of The Secret From The Secret Daily Teachings Write down all the great things about everyone you know.

Usually I think of her when some childhood memory comes to the surface or when I pass by houses in which she once lived. She found me today on Facebook. All these memories came flooding back when I saw her name. Tea-juice. I think Julie was the...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Admiration/615018Grandma Though we are separated by an ocean, I see you daily.

Your long, slender fingers I have watched many a time dance across piano keys. Your pale, almost transparent...
