Final Day of Snorkeling, finally made it to Mauna Kea (Day 6)

Amazing snorkeling with tropical fish and sea turtles. Then we went to Mona Kea which was closed due to the 3 feet of snow they got overnight. Hawaii is an amazing place. Can Surf in the morning and ski at night.

Almost to Mauna Kea, Married Men Live Longer. (Day 5)

I read one time that married men live longer than unmarried ones do. Best to turn around when there is a flash flood even if your just 5 miles away from the turn off to the destination. Today, X-mas, is a rest day as it turns out. Santa even found his way here despite no chimney or tree! Isobel said we can try to go to Mona Kea again tomorrow after snorkeling. Nap time.

Winter Carpe Diem - The Turning Point

The solstice reminds us that after a time of darkness comes a turning point. Just when light appears to have completely vanished, it shows forth again. Still soft and weak at first, it begins to renew itself. And so, in similar situations in our lives, we must nurture the forces of recovery and renewal with tenderness in the beginning, so that the return may lead to a flowering.

This winter I will recover my brain. I am reading Dr Amen's new book, change your brain, change your life. Summer and Fall were very stressful and anxiety provoking. The hospitalization, the merger, the economy. This winter I will:

• Walk or otherwise be active daily.
  
• Eat every 3 hours.
• Sleep 8 hours a night.
• Think positive thoughts, meditate if I have to.
• Be productive and save. Measure with KPIs
