things of note for now

Things to remember, people really:  Kiba and April as they go through their life changes, Alia and Michael, as their family expands by one miraculous little girl, Greg E. and his family, as they look forward to their summer together and live in the present moment, Russel and Madrona, as they gear up for "the season": studying and protecting our island and its surrounding seas, Aimee, as she searches for the perfect ski pack, Bob and Janis and the other wonderful souls who are learning how to be skilled Lopez EMTs,  Ron Metcalf, as he readies himself for travels through England (his blog is called Travels with Ron, check it out,  and Alia has one too, called The Alia Trip), Polly, as she navigates the medical world to stay healthy and vital.  Each day I am grateful for the way people share their lives with me, the lessons observed by this generosity and the ways in which we reach out and share.  Like our radio station, KLOI, and how people take the time to get on it and share their favorite music and thoughts:  John Waugh and his "my two cents" is precious and so well done, Gary Alexander and his endless knowledge about musicians and composers, Shantparv and his hippie philosophies every Sunday night, Sue Dumond and her wonderful modern musical discoveries, Josh Ratza, many others.  Thanks, all!  May we get the most out of our beautiful world now, right now.
