Just Before Sunset

I am struggling.

Jet lag has kicked my b*** this week.

I am grouchy and hungry all the time.

Larry has been back to work 4 days now.

He LOVES his new position at the company

and

to be honest, 

he is a better version of himself.

{and he avoided jet lag, how did he do that?}

On Kauai, 

one evening, 

we had a beach picnic with friends Lori & Bill.

It was just before sunset

and

Lori said: Do you see all of the green birds?

We could not miss them, they were announcing

the sunset by the hundreds.

Lori said:

The story is, years ago a woman 

had two green parakeets

that escaped from her  house.

From those two,  

they became hundreds.

They are funny, loud and pretty.

Green splatters the sky at sunset

and they talk to each other about the day.

Each evening, we would sit on the lanai,

watching them swoop through the clouds,

welcoming the night.

I miss the sea

and

I miss the singing parrots at sunset.

BUT

Being home is a joy.

I wish you a joyful day.

Love you.
