It's taken me a lifetime to accumulate all that I have and now I'm giving it away to those who can use it. Age plays a big part in this relinquishment of material things. So nice to read your words again. I have been super busy too. My daughter is about to open her business in Hilo of massage. In am so excited for her. She loves living near the rain forest. Have a great week William. xxoo

It is great to work our dreams when we are awake to the reality of them--hoping the best for her so to entertain some relief to whatever is left of this aging body of mines ~ Aloha always William Kekaula

I would love to live nearer and in fact within nature if I could, right now, too near to the maddening crowd for my liking! Love this write, Hugs, Jennifer.

Admittedly, I've a whole lot more, but I've been out-of-it for a while, worst for the past week limiting my time online--just spurted this being #34 out of 35, thanks GW ~ William
