After a good, but somewhat strange trip to Hawaii, I am back to facing the changes that are about to sweep through my life.

Although the changes are for the better, I am not looking forward to the process of getting through the next few weeks. There are loose ends to tie up which are threatening to overwhelm me.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t prevent this acutely felt stress from bleeding into our vacation. My subconscious mind would not stop.

Now, at 2:15 a.m., my jet-lagged mind will not shut off.

Although the trip began with my being sick with a cold, and a mind that kept working when I was supposed to be relaxing, Oahu is always beautiful, always worth the trip.

Aloha, and Mahalo.
