Waimanalo

Before the storm came, we played in the high surf and dad prolonged his youth with the act of tai chi.  Only a day left on this beautiful isle.. I will miss this energy.

Mele Kalikimaka!

What a gorgeous Christmas day. I'm sitting here completely stuffed from a very scrumptious meal. Feeling blessed.

A few days ago we went sailing with some friends. Traversing the open seas and exploring the liquid walls of turtle canyon.  Being completely surrounded by blue beauty is a feeling like no other. I am so thankful to experience such wonders in my life.
