 The Hawaiian word for today is aloha. Aloha is a word that is used constantly in Hawaii. Aloha means so many things but conveyed through one means first, attitude then action. Contemplate that as you read through the definition: love, affection, compassion, mercy, sympathy, pity, kindness, sentiment, grace, charity; greeting, salutation, regards; sweetheart, lover, loved one; beloved, loving, kind, compassionate, charitable, lovable; to love, be fond of; to show kindness, mercy, pity, charity, affection; to venerate; to remember with affection; to greet, hail.
