How lucky am I?

Exceedingly so...to be surrounded by friends and family I adore.  And always, there are new additions to the cast of characters.  This time it's Chuck, the coqui frog hunter, who happened by on more than one occasion to capture the little croaking critters. 

See bottom of jar/two small eyes/very tiny body/Very Large Voice.  Our conversation turned to our friend, Kathi, and our journey to help her be well.  Here are Chuck's bits of brilliance:

“Sorry we didn't have better luck catching frogs.  Your quest to find that spiritual place is a journey we all begin at birth.  It’s within us all and I think it’s just human nature.  Calming the mind and enjoying The Now should be our guide.  I enjoy meeting your guests; they always seem so happy.  Have a good day.”

“Don't get me started but one of my favorites is, "You're only one thought away from happiness."  I'm going to quit while I'm still on a parallel universe with the Dalai Lama.  If it's OK, I'll forfeit American Idol and be out there Tuesday night.  If it's any consolation, in Puerto Rico it’s good luck to have one frog in your garden.”

“Funny how things work.  I must give thanks where they are due.  Thank you, Mr. Coqui, for providing me the opportunity to meet such wonderful people.  Enjoy a delectable combination of savory seafoods interwoven with fresh garden greens perfectly ripened fruits, and ever so artfully prepared and presented as "Crab Salad ala PVC."  Have a nice day.”

You, too, Chuck.   PS.  How lucky are we that we’ve had a frog or two with us on this journey?  Very.

"How lucky am I?" What a perfect title for exactly what I have been thinking. How lucky am I to have been able to spend these past few days with you Lois, in Hawaii. THANK YOU, once again, for this marvelous healing journey. It has been more than wonderful. Mahalo Nui Loa. Betty
