The time change made it possible for me to sleep in and to live more casually. I enjoyed snorkeling quite a bit. Everything was so relaxing. The beauty, the warm waterfall Jacuzzi, the music and the beautiful plants and scenery. It is pricey to live and visit there, but the Ohana is real and the aloha spirit warms my heart. I enjoyed my Dad's testimony at Tanya's ward. He encouraged the grand kids as he was encouraged to serve a mission, and choose to be temple worthy as he as been for 50 years. He talked about how it blessed his life. I was teary eyed and appreciated his sincerity and concern for his posterity. Joe helped in ordaining Kieran to be a priest and all my kids attended Sunday school together. The teacher was black and white with his views on life and how to navigate it. I wasn't in that class, but I do think it is important to choose good. To decide ahead of time what you would do in situations to uphold your beliefs and morals. Commandments and ordinance helps us to navigate our lives better. We know so little in this life and sticking to what is important and valuable is imperative. I fell happy for the time I have had with each of my children as they grow and move out.
Spencer transitioned wonderfully to his duplex as we were in Hawaii. We have been so fortunate for him to be able to step down from crisis and to be more independent. It has been easy in a way. More smooth then one could imagine. We are getting his swing reinforced in his garage and I hope this will be more comfortable for him swinging this summer and better to not aggravate his allergies.
The weather here has been bi polar, but it was so pleasant in Hawaii and we came back to summer weather. We have AC and beauty all around so I feel more ready for this new season.
