BREATH OF LIFE (January 18-February 14, 2025)

Wyndham Shearwater Resort

After landing on Kauai, we made our way to the northside and our

resort. While in Hawaii we stayed at three different WYNDHAM Resorts. Our first two weeks were at the WYNDHAM Bali Hai. Our third week was at the WYNDHAM Ka'Eo Kai. Our final week was at WYNDHAM Shearwater. Each resort had its strong points but, we loved Shearwater. This resort sat on a cliff above the Pacific. We could watch the whales and enjoy the sunrise. What a wonderful blessing it was to spend a full month in the Aloha state!

Having been to this Island several times, we primarily just relaxed and stayed around the resorts.

   "Aloha"! You hear it every time you interact with the Hawaiian locals. It's expected. I always thought that it meant "Hello" or "Goodbye" but, I have learned differently.  According to several sources, when translated from the native language, means "breath of life".

    It has come to express more than just "hello" or "goodbye". It has become an expression of mercy, love, affection, peace, and respect. It has grown to identify a way of life. 

    "Aloha" has become a simple way of "breathing life" into others.         In its concise way it says, "I offer you mercy, affection, peace, and respect with nothing expected in return."

    Not a bad way to treat our fellowman! So, to all who read my blogs, "Aloha" from the bottom of my heart.
