Maile caught sitting on dining room chairAbout Me
I was born and raised in Hawaii, and moved to So. California in 1970. I visit my family often in Hawaii, but love the lifestyle here on the mainland.
I am married, have (3) children, all grown, and have a wonderful husband who supports me in all of my endeavors, as I do with him. I also work, and currently work as an administrative assistant for a city. I also try to go to school to keep up with the technology and programs that is fast growing in our society and workplace environment, hence, being competitive as a viable employee in the workforce at my age. A must-do in today's society. Lack of knowledge will keep you behind in times as I observe these days.
I am 61 yrs. old this year! My profile picture was taken last year when I won the city's chili cookout contest among 30 plus entrants in the no beans entry, but best taste overall! I work under one city's department of managers who volunteered me to represent them. My secret ingredients are no secret...ask me and I'll tell you! Thought I'd change my profile picture like some of my dear friends here do every so often on aarp.org!
I am a bonafide senior citizen. I keep forgetting to take advantage of those senior discounts...LOL!

My Dear Friend, Cynthia
We must love our self before we can love others~ I CAN is 100 times more important than IQ~ My simple presence can make others happy~ Sing as if no one is listening~ Love as if you have never been hurt~ Dance as if no one is watching~ To love myself is the beginning of a life-long romance~ I am filled with light, love and peace~ I treat myself with kindness and respect~ I give myself permission to shine~ I honor the best parts of myself and share them with others~ Today I give myself permission to be greater than my fears~ I love myself just the way I am~ I love and forgive myself for any past mistakes~ Today I am willing to fail in order to succeed~ Practice Daily Thoughts Of Gratitude~ I go to sleep counting my Blessings
Love and Blessings
