How wondrous the islands of Hawaii are, with mesmerizing views and aloha in the air. It’s impossible to describe how different the island life is compared to home.

But you can feel it, of that there is no doubt. It is nearly impossible to not experience gratitude here, for all the beauty and fortune, which is why you see so many easy smiles and mellow attitudes.

I hope to keep returning to Hawaii, to keep resetting, to keep growing. One thing I’m learning, slowly but surely: life is better with aloha.
