GOOD DAY GOOD LIFE

This morning I greeted a co-worker and asked how he was ... He seemed sad and was telling me that he and his wife were having some financial difficulty

To this I responded:

You know some times when things are hard and you find yourself doing without and fretting over what you don't have... try to think about what you DO have... as Americans we are so overwhelmed with THINGS... SO MANY THINGS... There are people in Africa who have ONE pair of pants and ONE shirt... We are very very fortunate.

My Friends Gunny's recent travels (http://ngslproject.org/ethiopia/) to Ethopia as well as some books on Africa I have recently read have given me knew value to our lives here in the US...We have more than any ONE person could possibly need yet we seem to always want more... Kinda makes you rethink your next purchase...

My co-worker smiled "Thank you! You're right!" he said. "You just made me see things a lot differently."

MORE OF Oahu! :-)





Riechel and I enjoying the sunset on the sunset cruise...So much fun! I think we nabbed the best spot on the boat... we got a little splash too...









Do we look happy here? It was a gorgeous spot and we wanted to spend all day right there in that spot... it reminded us of "home" it was a bit like La Jolla there but with a little warmer water...








this is "China Man's Cap" a very popularly photographed island just off the coast... I think I got a pretty good shot of it...from a moving vehicle I should add...



Oh so BEAUTIFUL!
Wish we could do it all over again...

HAWAIIAN FUN - third time is the charm!









Do we look like we are all having a good time?

Trying again

....failed!

FUN HAWAII PICS

I thought I post a few pics of our lovely trip to Oahu with my Dad :-) ... tried three times and for some reason I can't ....soooooooooooo... I will try again later...

NEWS Update

Dad is back home with electricy and water...he called and told me when he was on his way home... then texted me when he was in his kitchen enjoying a cup of coffee ... it really comforted me to hear his voice... I feel so helpless when I can contribute to helping when something horrible is going on WAY over there... all I can do is pray.
