I don’t want much
I don’t ask for a lot in life. I’ve never sought fame and fortune. I don’t need piles of cash, a fancy car and heaps of sparkly jewelry to make me happy (though all of those things are very nice, indeed!) The love of my family, a few friends, a little work, enough money to pay the bills, something good to read - those are enough. Oh, and a little less stress. This time last week we in Hawaii were on a rollercoaster. Within a three-day period we were under advisories or alerts for a hurricane and a tsunami, the Big Island was having earthquakes and there was a huge brush fire practically in my own backyard. I don’t even count Pele’s contribution, because the volcanos are just a little background to our lives. I’d like a quieter week, please. I hope I’m not asking for too much.
Here’s to a normal week, Hawaii. I think we’ve had enough excitement for a while.

Jenny, I’ve been under threat of natural disasters before and can cope, but last week was a bit much all at once, lol!

Paradise is doing a much better job of living up to its name this week, Bob!
