Even The Awkward

A L O H A  From

You know who's going

through a lot right now?

Literally everybody!

Be kind.

The Story Is Not Done.

Hang in there.

I’ve made it to 100,

in no small part, because

I have stubbornly refused

to give in to the bad stuff

about aging. Instead, I have

been in a full-on bear hug

with the experience of living. Dick Van Dyke (Almost) 100 Still Having Fun

We do not know this lady's age

but doesn't she look strong!!?

Pearl Harbor Day, December 7th is always observed in Honolulu in a big way.

(Photos from this year's parade.) This year is the first time there were no survivors of the attack in town.

Every year I have watched them grow older.  Every year there were fewer and fewer, but the fuss we made over them was bigger and bigger.

Only 12 survivors are alive today on the 84th anniversary of the attack. 

None able to travel.

Veterans of WWII 

were present and honored.

They are responsible

for the life we have enjoyed.

More on the parade tomorrow.

You do not guide the river; 

you learn its music and 

let it carry you.

Trust that every step, 

even the awkward ones, 

is teaching your soul 

a new kind of dance.

The map you need is being 

drawn by your footsteps.
