cherished members of our Ohana. Every time I pick up the pen, ahem, I mean get out the keyboard to write my gratitude journal, I search key words to ensure I am not duplicating a previous entry. Ironically, when I choose the word ‘friend’, there are over 200 entries. Is that too many or not nearly enough? I say the later…
And so, I write of friends and family; connections who connect us with what is important in life. So what is really important in life? Reflections reveal that it is and has always been family, friends and the experiences we have along life’s journey. And I am sorrowful for those in pursuit of only the material things in life for they only have true meaning when made a part of an experience with loved ones.
And my day, April 18th, was filled with girlfriends, my Ohana… many of which it has been too long since we got to relax and spend time with.
- I drank coffee in jammies in the early morning talking with her and lost track of time
- I drank a lemon-pear martini with Seesters in the afternoon and laughed until my side hurt
- I drank Chianti with the Fab Five in the evening at her house and took a grainy selfie of us
Experiences filled my cup yesterday, and so I write this morning to capture all that has been, that is and that will be. We walked down the road, bustling with others out for the day, and slipped into a shop filled with treasures. And it caught my eye, from under the glass – a unique ring handcrafted in Spain.
Today, as I place my hand on the steering wheel of life, I am filled with gratitude that the sphere (me) is surrounded and held in place by the love of myLord, myDarlin’ Robert Kenui Pope and my Ohana.
