I was wanting to do a full ‘review’ type write-up in offering this link but I’m afaid my brain isn’t functioning terribly well at the moment. Still, I think it’s important to share any sort of discovery that brings with it a feeling of happiness. My discovery is the writing of fox over at chasing shadows again. I’ve only recently come across fox’s page and it’s taken me a couple of days to pinpoint why it is I enjoy the writing there so much. It’s joyful. Joyful and peaceful and so heart-baringly honest. For those with children, without children, wanting a child, being someone’s child (which we all are, in case that needs pointing out! 
), I recommend reading To the unborn children I might have had after a fair amount of mango rum.
Given the time difference between Hawaii and Australia and the benefit of blogging, I now get to start my mornings with fox’s morning chatter. This is fast becoming a ritual for me, to read fox’s start to the day. There’s just such delight there and so much appreciation for simply being. That sense of gratitude is something I need to find again within myself and experiencing it through someone else’s mind – well, it’s fast rubbing off on me
I hope you all take the time to visit and enjoy what you find as much as I do.

If you haven't a clue what email is, I'm afraid my carrier pigeon is on a temporary hiatus, the stork's off delivering babies.... and I'm too lazy to walk to your house and pop handwritten tidbits into your letterbox :-( Sowwy! Hopefully the above links will suffice.

I’m amused, also
I’ll be keeping my eye out for that bottle, you know? Like you, I live by the sea 
Easiest way for other’s to work out the time difference for themselves is for me to say it’s now 5:07am on Tuesday the 24th of April, 2007. Hope that helps
As for having your mind set in East Coast time zones, I spent about eighteen months with my mind and body clock tuned to NYC time
NOT very helpful to me given that I was, as now, living in Victoria, Australia. I was supposed to put in an order for some essential things at work one night but figured I still had until the next day to do it. In my mind, it was Thursday….. which it was, if you live on the east coast of America 
Oops!
That’s a pretty good review from where I stand.
Thanks! *pads off to check the time difference between Hawai’i and Australia* Wow…that’s as close to my time as most people I talk to are like 6 hours ahead of me. I still think Australia is really far away (because I still think of the world from the East Coast 95% of the time), but we share an ocean now don’t we? Now I’m debating writing a message, popping it into a bottle, and trying to figure out where the current to Australia is. Odds it reaches you…oh about zero. Odds anyone gets it, likely pretty slim. Odds I am quite amused, very high.
[Note: Time difference looks like 4-6 hours prior to here depending on where in Australia, for anyone who does not want to have to look, but wants to know.]
