DEVELOPING MOI
Jul 4, 2012


Not being blessed with the 'gift of sight', the old geezer is clueless what the future may hold in store for.  Mind, no 'gift of sight' is required to confirm what is well known to MOI.  That people who like MOI seem to hold fast to that 'like' for ages.  History has proved to MOI that there appears to be no middle ground when it comes to being liked by others.  Folks tend to adore the old geezer or loathe.  Case in point being "Peter Pan' in Reno, who seems to harbour very ill feelings towards.

Truth be told, the past few days to MOI have reminded of the many blessing in life.  Just when you think it can only be dark, the sun comes shining through.  Returning to Hawaii has made me realize that the adventure of living continues full throttle, and will have its ups and down but will nevertheless be worth the journey.

There will be many who will be puzzled by my return to Hawaii.  It is expensive, overcrowded and over developed.  What many will miss is the fact that Hawaii holds so many dear memories.  It was the spot that MOI holidayed with John for many a year, the spot returned to when John died to try and sort out the future, the spot that long time friends were met and held dear for many a year.  There is something magical about the place for MOI.  Might well be the very uttering of ALOHA.

Whatever the casuses for my very strong feelings for Hawaii, it is well true that the healing has already begun.  Not sure MOI thought of self as a victum, but did feel much put upon.  Not to be in the future.  Have clipped hair, dressed down and am marching straight into the sun.  Whatever is ahead will be faced with no fears.  Past trials will be put behind.

It is all about attitude, and am of the opinion me attitude is much improved.
