My niece and I riding the open-air bus at San Diego Zoo on 10/17/2018 in San Diego, California. My brother-in-law is behind us, my niece’s dad.
For me, I do my best to spend as much time as I can with my family. My nieces changed everything drastically because time is clearly reflected by how fast they grow up, just like my hair. 😂
Have fun with you family and friends!
With Warmest Aloha,
Jon

Spirit therapy.
Feel my thoughts. I comfort yours.
Merge the two of us.

Didn’t sleep much. Replaced the lights and cleaned my 55-gallon tank in the early morning. Got several Neon Tetras in it.

My 55-gallon tank is once again filled with life with 10 Neons Tetras and some plants that I bought from Petco today, September 9, 2017, after a few years of only Zen-like water flowing. Since I was a young child, I’ve been raising freshwater tropical fish. I rewarded myself these fish for a personal goal I achieved and my best efforts on another one. These pals of mine will come with me on the new paths I’m traveling on or alongside. They will help me to maintain inner peace.

Here’s a picture from my short 2.77 mile run along the coast of Ko’olina on 5/15/2017. After my run, I swam the length of Lagoon 4 six times. Exercise and being in and near the ocean is helpful in alleviating stress and anxiety. I’m grateful to live in Hawaii.
