What a wonderful quote by MJ. Wow...I'll pass it on to my son now that he's tried out for a very competitive AAA hockey team.

Btw, I'll be starting your book soon! I have three books to read and one I'm still 1/2 way into (but not "into")...so yours will come before all of them.

That's a beautiful song and awesome slideshow, Cloudia. Aloha to you and I wish you a very Happy New Year, too.

Another quote that I like is "A smile is a silent 'hello'." Not sure who first said it but it's nice. Or, you could say "A smile is a silent 'Aloha'!"

One of my two favorite Hawaiian songs. The other is "Beyond the Reef." Both sad, sweet, and sentimental.

A Smile


What’s in a smile?
A smile is a silent hello.
It reassures for a short while,
and in an instant the world’s set aglow.
