Arrow of Light

My boys. My Boy Scouts. How I love them. It seems just like yesterday when my oldest received his Arrow of Light and that one I'd now an Eagle Scout. Kupono made 11 this year and along with that honor came another one of receiving the Arrow of Light award. This award is given to little scouters who have completed the Cub Scouts program and have finished all of the requirements. We were a little shaky that Kupono would finish all of the requirements necessary by the time he turned 11 but add always, we managed.
As a mother, I am grateful for the Boy Scouts Program. I don't know of any program besides our youth programs at church that concentrate on developing the character of young men. In this day and age, we need valiant and righteous men to become husbands and fathers. The scouting program has helped each of my sons to develop survival skills, good citizenship, self esteem, and a lifetime desire to serve others. Thank you for our founders of the Boy Scouts. Kupono had now crossed over from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts and is ready to serve even more diligently.
By the way, is that Pohai and why is he there? Oh yes, although he's received his Arrow of Light many moons ago, he has never participated in a Crossover ceremony. We fulfilled that dream today for him. Two Crossovers in one night...a dream come true for me.

Finally

Oceanic Cable finally has a seating area. Wow! When did this happen? And when did they finally figure out that customers did not enjoy standing in long lines holding their sometimes very heavy cable/ phone/ internet equipmemt? I remember standing in that very long line holding my heavy cable box in one hand and three young children with the other. Nice job Oceanic! Your customers deserve to be seated while they wait.

My Comeback

Ok....so Iʻve been blog hibernating a bit...well, a little more than a bit...ok, I should not go on, I will only list more excuses. But really, my downfall started when my camera broke and I refused to blog without pictures. When I finally bought one, I ended up sending it with my son on his mission.
I missed blogging....I'm a writer, always have been...so not being able to blog meant suffocation of mind, body, and soul. It's another way for me to journal. Thousands and thousands of thoughts enter my brain's data processing center every minute of the day. I want to store them all but can't when there's no blog. Therefore, you can imagine what a bliss it's been since Pohai installed my blog application on my phone. Blogging is so fulfilling. I don't feel selfish dedicating my time on this. I feel as if I'm doing my part in documenting life through my perspective. This way, generations to come can read about the lives of their parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, etc.
Blogging also allows my family and friends to stay in touch with us.
I'm ready to begin, again! I realized I have not blogged in a year so be ready for some major back blogging as I call it.....enjoy!
