And so it was…

Aloha…

While perusing the internet… I came across an article that I had written quite some time ago… Open Diary was still going… but in the process of shutting down:

“Maui Jim here… I joined Open Diary in February of 1999… wrote about my divorce… the deaths of my two younger brothers… the death of my youngest daughter… and finally the passing of my mom and dad… shared with readers the sadness… and the joy that has come my way… I know it is frustrating to have the site go down… but really… at least for me it’s not the end of the world… I have found this place to be so healing… and the notes left for me by readers like you have helped me to become the person that I am today… the site will come up again (he said hopefully)… and all will be right with the world (smiles)”…

Aloha oe…

That was some good prophesizing!

Amen…!

Good prediction. It’s always better to have hope than not to have hope.

It’s taking some getting used to to maneuver on the new OD, as well as getting back into the swing of writing again, but I’m glad there are some familiar and friendly faces here and I’m glad one of them is yours. 🙂

Aloha…

At first I tried to navigate around without reading any of the instructions (typical of a male)… didn’t work very well for me… thank you for your kind words… and good to see you as well…

Aloha oe…

Those were the days. I joined November 2000.

And perhaps… these will become the current “days’…!

And so it did!

Yes… I held on to the hope… that anything that good would not go away forever…
