WE had a great time ....
How is everybody here???


Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself to others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perenial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself in dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the Universe - no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the Universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all it's sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be Careful. Strive to be happy.




Hi cincin,,,
your trip looks marvelous,, with exception to the flights... I made it through most of your blogs
I know .... I feel like most of the journal was involving the flights!!!
Hi Cin - welcome back - I sure don't envy you on those long flights.
Granny to Caleb and Scotia
HI Rusty!!
Ackkkk!!!! I didn't read much beyond the flight over there..what a nightmare!!! I'll go back tomorrow to read more though. Reminded me why my DH and I HATE flying with a passion, both the awful airplanes and the awful airports!! Sometimes, though, it's the only way you can get to where you want to go. Our flight home from Kauai was very stressful and uncomfortable, but not so bad compared to your experience!!
Glad you got to go and arrived back home safely.
DH and I and our families are doing well. Life is good.
I know .... it is kinda sad to spend the first 4 days of a 14 week vacation in transit!!!
Hey cincin, missed you and wondered where you were...Why didn'lt I know you went to Australia? Geez, I do need to pay more attention to what's going on around here...LOL
Looking forward to checking out your journal and pics.
It's so good to see you...welcome back!
