I write today concerning nothing of importance. I have had some great experiences here. Most recently I went snorkeling and found it very exciting. The coral was very beautiful but I hate to touch it. The fish were scarce and the water was rough. I loved the thrill of being underwater and being able to breathe. I also really like palm trees. They tower over everything and yet they are so skinny. They are not like the oak or pine trees. They are the female of towering trees. Elegant and they flow in the wind. I love just looking at them especially when they are set against a perfectly blue sky!I know that living in Hawaii is supposed to be paradise and it is, just not how most people view paradise. Hawaii is very small and simple. For a tourist this is the ideal vacation. For a local or a resident this place is just a place. I know I should be excited beyond all belief to live here, and I am but I feel that paradise is not paradise unless you make it paradise for yourself.I have had to remember that attitude is more important than location. Hawaii is wonderful because people make it wonderful. I must make it wonderful.
