After our exhilerating ziplining adventure on Labor Day, we decided to visit Akaka Falls. I suppose it's possible that trip could have been the plan all along but I only first heard of it after the 8 ziplines. Vika said she and Josh missed the falls during their last trip here because it was closed. I rarely turn down an opportunity to visit a state park, even those I've seen before because you always see something new.Akaka Falls is one of those must-see tourist attractions on Big Island.

GOOD Day:   Welcome to this edition of My Monday Message.....This week we have the opportunity to forget about our past mistakes or failures and realize our future is not determined by the past, but rather by what we do today. Life is a collection of millions and millions of decisions and actions. You can make a ton of mistakes. You can choose the wrong road sometimes. The best part about life is that you always, always, always can make another choice. You can make another decision. You can get up and work harder and smarter and make a difference for the better. You just have to want to. Today, this week, and every day going forward let us take what life has to give us and make something of it. Let us go out and get what we want. Let us make a positive difference for all those around us... 02/13/2012
