Thoughts Like Rain...
I dont know what this is... There are white flowers blooming out of the red center "cone" most unique! Taken in the Albezia Tree Tunnel on route 132 near Lava Tree State Park
Its been dry and voggy here and I am too sick to go to bed. Nausea, and my head is screaming...Maybe I am sick or perhaps its just sick and tired... I think its everything but I see plans forming slowly and I know that things are starting to come together...
The Goodbyes have started. My website for the store is history, paid the web master today all that I owed him. That is a good feeling... I am not running out of town with a pile of debts from the business, there are a few people that I know that I venture to say might be doing just that, sadly...
I think of all of the people that likely I wont see again in this life and that is sad... I dont know when I will be able to come back here, not money or time, but emotionally. Im just like that, I cant go back for a while once I've left a place for good. I get too upset about it. Even when its a good move... Like when I bought my first house and stuff, I am just really bad about moving, let alone a move like this where I am giving up a home, a car, a few friends, some dear... and a place I love for the unknown... Im still moving forward...
Woody is working a string of midnight shifts for the guard Co. They call him at the last minute but hes so good natured about it that this doesn't bother him... I guess its ok by me if its ok with him...
We had another kitty scare here. We have had a man in to wash the siding of the house to clean off the accumulated mildew that has built up, and he did all of the windows too. Did a great job, place looks freshly painted... Well one of the screens wasn't on very well and poor Nani jumped up onto the ledge and went flying out of the window onto the ground. Like poor Alice in the Rabbit Hole, she was shell shocked but Woody called her and she ran the 10 feet or so into the porch light and into my waiting arms...( she's so athletic she jumps into my arms when frightened or upset.) I took her inside and we had a long cuddle. (I am so scared of how they will be with flying to...well where ever we go... but at least we will have them safely in a protective carrier, and not in the mud like the poor fuzz ball last night...) I needed a shower when all of the consoling was over but that was ok...
I fired a few people up with my post on the tsunami relief. I stand by it. I think that there is a whole lot of money going to who knows where... I heard a lovely story about an English couple that didn't cancel their trip to Phukett, and were very please to find that the resort was cleaned up and open for business. Reviving the tourist trade will be very much a shot in the arm for the nations involved as that provides the jobs needed for a sustained recovery...The resort was thrilled to have the couple who gave a glowing report of what they saw in the post tsunami clean up... I have hear that local people are going for Spring Break and I think that is good to get on with life.......
I want to thank all of my loyal readers... I am heading to the 10000 mark on the number of hits to this site and that tells me that you enjoy what you are seeing here. I will try to keep it up as I make the move to the mainland. I have done some updating. should any of you wish to be on my blogroll, just let me know
I have added a few poems to Hokule'a, and I think there will be more. I find that the trying times are the inspiring times...
