Thursday. I woke up as pure optimism personified. Wednesday was calm in the storm and Thursday was the promise of all the good things. Here are a few of the joyful things that happened.
- A kind shuttle driver. She was the perfect way to start our day.
- A kind and joyful worker at Moe's (a restaurant in the airport) allowed me to alter my breakfast to incorporate veggies and then made it so thoughtfully for me.
- I met wonderful people who shared on our experience of missing the earlier flight and enjoyed instant camaraderie.
- Melissa and I enjoyed an unexpected 5-hour layover on Kauai by walking out of the airport in search of anything interesting. We made it to a lighthouse and made a new friend, Dee, who was travelling by herself.
- Melissa and I were sweaty and stinky when we got to the airport and I felt bad for the person assigned to sit next to me on my Kauai to Kona flight but I was blessed with the row all to myself.
- Instead of being irritated at having to wait 45 minutes when we finally arrived in Kona, I was able to stay calm and enjoy some needed downtime.
- I was completely unprepared for the instant connection I felt with the nine women I met, even after such a long day.
- Melissa and I agreed that the two days we spent together were a gift and that we were meant to create a relationship just the two of us.
Our dreamy weather on dreamy Kauai.
Melissa really wanted to see a lighthouse, so by golly, we found a lighthouse and took our picture in front of it.
