Maukai…your mini-vacation for the soul.

It’s easy these days to get caught up with trying to do too much. You strive for that promotion, so you bring your workload home or work on the weekends. You justify a higher salary equals a happier family by providing more, yet the time spent with loved ones is reduce to a minimal of seeing each other only when you wake up and go to bed.
The problem is everyone believes they will live to be over 100 years old. No one likes to think that tomorrow may never come, and yet our last moments here on earth could be any minute. There is nothing wrong with wanting the best for your family, but the “best” isn’t the material things they want, it’s your time. No one ever says on their last dying moments that they wished for more time at work. Of course not, it’s more time with family yet we continue to live as we do. Remember to keep the Ohana First

Its the beginning of the year and that can only mean one thing…a fresh new start! Regardless of what happened in 2009, it is all but a distant memory. We must realize each additional day is already a blessing.
