Floating about

Now that my family and I have been in Hawaii for two years, it recently become apparent how slow our life has become. We spent a few weeks on the mainland this summer and I was seriously culture-shocked at the rushing-rushing-rushing feeling that I experienced while there (in Utah). I do have periods of busy-ness here in Hawaii, but there is a considerable amount of down time as well. This may sound suspiciously like boasting, but going to the beach to decompress for the couple of hours before dinnertime seems decadent to me, especially as I think back on times in my life that have been ridiculously busy. I remarked to Dave that I was surprised at my slow afternoons...and then I laughed at myself. I had better just enjoy it while it lasts!! So, it must be said that hanging out at the beach park with a picnic lunch and friends (and their babies!) is an ideal way to spend a Saturday...
