It’s Aloha Friday II
It’s Aloha Friday again! If you missed last week’s edition, you can find it here.
This week’s question is:
What makes you feel better when you’re having a bad day?
Contemporary Hawaiian music always makes me feel better. Here is Na Leo Pilimehana singing one of my favorite songs, I Miss You, My Hawaii.

Princess never fails to make me smile when I am having a bad day. She is such a happy kid, singing all the time and always up for cuddles and kisses that she just warms my soul.
My doggies! They’re *always* in a good mood and happy to see me
Calvin and Hobbes!
I Love to hear Hawaiian Music. On days when I need a pick-up I usually go for a walk and listen to my music and grab my favorite drink from star bucks
My DD & my pets are really good at cheering me up and I’ve always got my music on in the background.
If that doesn’t work, I find something funny on the net.
Loved the video and song. A prayer helps me.
Shopping! Shopping always cures me no matter what is wrong.
Bad morning fixer-upper = hot, strong coffee & cuddles from my boys
Bad evening fixer upper = glass of Pinot Noir, warm blankie, romantic movie, cuddles with hubby
Gosh, I wish my answer was more like “invigorating exercise” or “house-cleaning frenzy”
Depends on what put me in the bad mood. If I’m totally frustrated with something I’m working on, then smiles and laughter from my kids help so much! If I am furious at my kids… well, their smiles don’t do so much for me then
Some alone time either reading, or out shopping, or even blogging while listening to some good music!
A phone call to or from my friend C. always cheers me up. She makes me laugh and lets me whine until I get it out of my system.
Oh, that’s easy…Ben and Jerry’s Chubby Hubby Ice Cream followed by a glass of Pinot Grigio!

I didn’t see the first Aloha Friday last week, very cool idea! I just started a “thingy” too for Fridays.
Weird, we kind of have the same theme going- it’s all about getting into a relaxed frame of mind.
For me, when things go bad.. I can always count on my hubby and chocolate… and a hugs from my girls.
Talking to with my family, HUGS, chocolate, and a good laugh ALL make me feel better!
Happy Friday, Kailani!
A Corona.
Hot Chocolate.
A big hug from one of my kids, initiated by them.
My 5 year old cuddling up in my lap telling me “you’re warm”.
My HWH “spooning” me as I fall asleep in his arms.
Any one of these can right the worst day.
Ditching my to do list and playing on the floor with the kids and laughing is always good for picking up my mood. That song made me feel so relaxed! I may have to start downloading some Hawaiian music on itunes! I love Aloha Fridays!!
Depends on what’s making it a bad day. Sometimes shopping/buying new shoes or a purse helps. Sometimes a good cry helps; other times it might be chocolate, or lunch and laughter with a friend, or listening to raucous music loudly. Sometimes, if I’m feeling up to it, I work out!
You know, I actually love Hawaiian music- both traditional and contemporary. This song is so pretty! We use to get it on our satellite station- they had a Hawaiian music channel and I’d listen to it when I wanted to relax!
Mine would be my little ones cuddling with me if they sense I need cheering up…a smile and a kiss from my husband…a good old movie…getting away with some good friends for coffee…and chocolate.
Have a good weekend, Kailani!
Music, a martini, and the female duck
I enjoyed the video. It brings Hawaii back to me. But it also makes my heart ache!
Today I took care of a customer who’s first name is Aloha.
To answer your question, going online or going outside is what cheers me up.
My wife, because she understands me and knows what to do when I’m having a bad day.
Chocolate and my blog. My blogging buddies always cheer me up!
Its a very pretty song. I enjoy my kids hugs and them telling me they love me…that makes my day!
I’ll try to check out Aloha Friday next week. I like this week’s question.
When I’m having a bad day, a gentle kiss from my son can take the blues away. Meeting old friends over a cup of coffee and delicious cake or pastry is something wonderful too.
Lovely video.
My comfort is in the embrace of my husband the kindness in my children’s eyes. A little candy or sweet. Dancing in the silence with my maker.
