WHAT GOES AROUND….COMES AROUND
Well…...... I have a story to tell….....
We shopped at Costco Saturday and bought a case of wine (just for the box…..ha) along with many other items….....
The bill is always hundreds of dollars and we usually never question the amount….....
Well, seems when we got home and checked the receipt we noticed that we were double charged for the wine….....
So Monday I took the reciept back to the store and spoke to the manager: Daniel
What a nice young pleasent professional man…....(coulda been one of my boyz)
He apologized for the error and kindly offerred us a $10.00 store card.
I explained that I was retired and now paint…....and mentioned that I use these wine boxes as frames for my art….......
Told him how I slice them up and stretch fabric and the whole How KJ Creates An Island Dream- and would he be able to snag me a box or two….....
He told me he will get me a *_flat of boxes….......
Mahalo Nui Loa Daniel…...........
_I stopped by today and showed him what my paintings look like…........
I showed him a tray
_and a painting
He immediately was attracted to Tsé Bii’ Ndzisgaii
I explained how I cut the box, stretched the fabric, prepared the fabric and only used a spoon instead of a brush….....
His eyes opened wide and said “Wow”
Then came the shock of the day for him…........
I said, *“It’s Yours”
_Now you should have seen his eyes…........like last nights moon…......
“This is how I like to show my appreciation for good service and kindness”, I said.
Told Daniel he has to give it a good home….....
He assured me he will and knows just the place where he and his bride will hang it…”My Wife is gonna love this”, he explained…..........and they just recently moved into a new home….......

Wonderful and Touching story! I am a big believer of good comes in circle too! I work at an offloading facility, offloading millions of pounds of fish. Been there for 16 years now, the skippers on every boat we do tells me and my man to always take fish when ever we want, so we do take a scatter meal but way too much for two people, so we pass it on to people that have been very kind to us and even strangers too! I gave the receptionist at the doctors office one day a full salmon, she was floored. She looked at me and said, “Gail, you are too kind!” I replied, “the smile was worth it!” She is a beautiful person, always with a smile on her face! Very helpful for over the years that I have known her. Good Comes In Full Circles
Your story has uplifted my heart today, thank you!
kjgordon replied
as yours did…........
E pili mau na pomaika`i ia `oe.............May blessings ever be with you
