We have been off the island for 8 long months and it feels so good to be back! Hawaii has the ability to make you feel so at peace with your life, no matter how crazy it really is. I love how this place helps you realize what is really important in life and strips everything thats not away. Fancy cars, trendy clothes or being well to do, has no relevance here. People seem to be much more open with eachother as well, often expressing how much they love or appreciate you. And you cant deny the aloha spirit, I always felt that was a cheesy saying but I had a really good experience with this yesterday. Seth and I tried out a new beach on the island that we had never been to before. While Seth surfed me and sol played together on the beach. Unbenost to us (i know im not spelling that right!) it wasnt the safest place to hang out. Some men were staring at sol and I and made a few comments that made me feel uneasy but I didnt know what to do becuase I didnt have a car and Seth was still surfing. But then a women came out of here house on the beach with her kids and started talking to me and said she was going to watch over me until my husband would come in. Her kids brought out some toys for Sol to play with and when Seth came in and it was time to go she told us to take all the toys with us. Isnt that sweet. She even went as far as telling us when she is home so if I was going to come to this beach again she could watch over me. I feel only this could happen in Hawaii. Obviously Hawaii is not perfect, but it really feels like everyone genuinly cares for one another, moreso in any other place we have lived and believe me we have been around!
