For the past 6 months

What have I been doing for the past 6 months?  

ALOT of learning.  

I've learned...

In two weeks a ten month old can go from crawling to standing, and in another two weeks from standing to walking (I'm sure).
No matter how old we get, fears keep us from growing.
The reality of the life's beginnings and endings leave indelible marks.

Dillweed grows like weed in Mililani Mauka.  (Oh!  Hey, look at that, weed is part of dillweed.)
North Shore, Pipeline is near...  Hmm...  Nope forgot that one.
I can regularly fall asleep before 9p, just give me a regular 40 hour week job that requires me to wake up at 5 in the morning.

Americans are interesting people, which I am one of.  However, I must say that I could not agree with the vast majority that loved the movie: Slum Dog Millionaire.  I cried and cried in the very beginning when the camera shot was full of poverty.  

The Word of God works.

Ok--all done for now.  

Body shutting down...  

eyes drooping...  

need... 
to brush... 
teeth...

yay! thank you for this glimpse into your daily life. i miss you.

ps i cried throughout slumdog too...esp when they would show the characters going about their lives and then pan up to grant us a moment of perspective...that this existence of poverty is multiplied by millions of lives, all just as real and human as the ones the story centers around. this is why i loved the movie...because it didn't paint over the horror, instead it said: here. this is life for almost half a globe of people. what will you do now, knowing this?
