Maui in Talk Story

Aloha…
I spent the afternoon out on the Jetty with a friend and her dog… water on both sides of us… ocean out in front… boats heading out into the ocean… other boats returning to port… lots of sea life… seals and sea lions… birds… even a couple of river otters…
When I returned home… I decided to wash the car… put some Hawaiian music on the stereo in the garage… backed the car out… and spent the next hour… well… you know…
Listening to the music… brought back so many memories of my time on the island…
Of the 12 years spent on Maui… 8 of those years I was married and of course we had all three of our daughters with us… very involved with Lahaina United Methodist Church… very involved with my youngest daughter’s school… and of course very much involved with the community…
I will never return… most of my friends have either passed on… or moved back to the mainland… and of course there is the old saying: “you can’t go home again”… meaning that things change…
Again… listening to the music was quite bittersweet… I would feel sad for a while… then happy… the sad again…
But there is an upside to this:
My car is really clean…!
Smiles/Aloha oe…
