Today marked a monumental day for different people...
- Darrah's birthday. My long time SHA friend from high school. She is the "oldest" of the gang to turn yet another year!
- Martin Luther King day. What a day to remember a man who had a DREAM. And his dream became reality for many!
- President Obama's Inaguration. Hawaii represented by Kamehameha Schools and Punahou's marching band.
And on a personal note.. time with my sister to clean out storage. So many times we've gone back and forth trying to get rid of stuff that we had such a hard time doing. Why couldn't we do it before? Why wasn't it easy to do? We weren't hoarders. We just held onto family memories, Mom's memories... Dad's memories... In the end, we both realized that they will always love us. We can't take these items with us to Heaven... but we can certainly share with others what Mom and Dad loved and enjoyed.
We were able to donate stuff for our cousin's garage sale, give more blankets to our dear Auntie! Yes, we still came home with a few items, but they were of our OWN memories that we decided to keep. AND to also pass on to friends who would certainly appreciate Clown Smurf... Mickey... and a few records my daughter would enjoy.
Thank you for a wonderful day, Lord! We've given, we sent our love, and we've enjoyed a day!
