Aloha and Merry Christmas or as its p.c. "Happy Horridays" to all the OCA die-hards, lurkers, former die-hards and new crickets.

Hope everyone is taking the time to really slow things down and take a detailed inventory of life. Really really look and be amazed at all its simply wondrous complexities and gifts. In the words of a late mentor of mine "Its Beautiful". He said these words at every turn, at every problem, at every joy. He used it to describe everything he encountered and always said it with a huge smile on his face. The unpredictability of life and the opportunity to experience it all amazed him.

So take it all in, the good, the bad, the unexpected, and live it to the max with a smile on your face with people you love.

Stay safe, stray from social media sites and have a Merry X-mas and a Happy New Year in 2016.
