07Jul : Aloha Kākou, today’s Hawaiian word is: Ho’omaika’i which means: Appreciate and is pronounced: ho ohmykah e. With
everything going on right now, especially the Covid, I so appreciate my good health, the health of my family and friends and the blessings given to us every day. Appreciation is often overlooked and yet it is so important for our living a life that is filled with blessings, good times with our family and friends and a positive attitude that continues to bring the great experiences that we all so desire. If life isn’t bringing you the love, joy and happiness that you deserve, ask yourself “Am I appreciating all the good things that life brings me every day? Do I recognize when these good things happen to me? Where am I putting my attention?” Everything flows, good and bad, to where the attention goes. What are you giving your attention to? Ho’omaika’i au iā ‘oe. – I appreciate you. Aloha, a hui hou…….

06 June: Today’s Hawaiian word is: Manawa which means: Time and is pronounced: Mahnahvah. How do you spend your time? Since we have such an abundance of time during our current lock down, I’m spending it enjoying my dear hubby and doing my best not to let him get on my nerves AND not to get on his nerves. Most of the time we actually succeed, yay. It’s also been great catching up on my reading, organizing my files, teaching the Hawaiian language to my grand kids (they’re on the mainland so we’re Zoomers), actually exercising every day (both of us). In fact, this lockdown has made us appreciate the occassional visits to the grocery store. That used to be a chore but now we actually look forward to it. It gets us out of the house. We’ve taken the lock down challenge and made good use of it. Aloha, a hui hou……..
04Apr : Aloha Kakou, today’s Hawaiian phrase is: Mai ho’okaumaha, hau’oli which means: Don’t worry, be happy and is
pronounced: My ho ohcowmaha, howohle. Worry is pilikia (trouble, problem etc) and hau’oli is happy, joy etc. These 2 emotions cannot occupy the same place at the same time, so I choose hau’oli. More importantly, worry causes lines and wrinkles, who wants more of those yeah? Aloha, a hui hou……..
