You know I don't think the leaving thread is meant to be negative. Perhaps it is just some guide posts for people to consider who might want to relocate. This is healthy conversation that needs to be brought into the light of day I think. I appreciate it also.
That being said, I love Hawaii, from the moment I get off the plane I feel a different person, at ease and at home all in one breath. The air, the people, the vegetation resonate a sense of peacefulness. The weather is the best, rain or shine and all. The fact that the maximum speed limit is 55 MPH is a plus in my estimation.
That I never will be expected to wear cloths I don't find comfortable, or shoes I don't like to please someone else is wonderful and a freeing experience. Society here is so non judgemental I feel.
There seems to be an acceptance floating in the air. Possibly the ocean ions?
To live on an island where the earth is rebirthing itself is so incredible to me. To be able to hike, swim, explore, it is all so affirming of spirit. And then you have the gardens, nothing more I could want! If I have to bring a few books on doctoring myself, like so many people in third world nations have to do, well so be it. We can't live forever yet and I plan on wearing myself out before I get too old, and I want to do it in Hawaii! Aloha, Mella
PS. Should mention also that I plan to take good care of the aina and to give what I can back thru my neighborhood, my contacts and volunteering. It will be a privilege to serve now that I don't have to do the 24/7 9-5 thing anymore.
