Migraine Awareness Month - Post #14: "Live Long and Prosper"

The prompt for today's blog submission is "Live Long and Prosper"

"Come up with a short, simple phrase or sentence that could be used when saying 'Hello' or 'Good-bye' to express your wishes for fellow Migraineurs."

My first thought was to use the Italian word, "salute'," meaning "God bless you"  or "to your health."

But I love the Hawaiian language.  Many simple words have several meanings.  For example, the word "mana'olana" means:

Hope, confidence, faith, expectation; to hope; thoughts that rise or float, like expectation and hope.

If any word could convey my wishes for a fellow migraineur (or a fellow human being, for that matter), it would be mana'olana.  

Mana'olana, my friends.  May you be blessed with hope, confidence, and faith that something good will happen. 

 (Pronounced: mah-nah-o-lah-nah.)
