Deep breaths....
I went for a walk at the beach tonight, with Amy and my sister.
I'm reminded how lucky we are to live by the water.
We have several choices when we go for walks.
3 or 4 different spots by the water.
My favorite is in a neighboring town.
Though still close by.
It seems we always choose the right spot to fit our mood.
Some times we are a bit loud and chatty and a certain spot is right for that, by the ball fields and skatepark and drive in.
Tonight,we chose Anchor Beach.
I've mentioned before it's my favorite walk.
This is the spot where I go when I walk alone
Tonight the 3 of us went, with some teasing about our latest fitbit challenge.
I'm in first place today, but that wont last.
A desk job makes it difficult.
Gorgeous out.
Perfect temp.
Quiet, like my mood.
Not very crowded.
Some folks fishing, others walking their dogs.
Cute puppie.
And lunkheads :)
I got to pet one...
Don't tell Allie.
We stopped at the midway point and sat on the rocks for awhile.
All 3 lost in our thoughts.
It was peaceful.
And my mind wandered.
Contemplated.
Pondered.
events of the day....
First, work.
Am I handling things ok?
I think I gave out some false hope today that I could release product and I wasn't able to.
It's a learning curve, isn't it?
I'm also working hard to let work go at the end of the day.
I was feeling pretty good sitting on those rocks.
Looking out over the water.
Listening to the gentle waves slap against the rocks.
I took a deep breath and connected again.
With the community I had been missing.
Missing having an actual conversation.
That give and take.
That ebb and flow.
I'll promise myself here to do a better job of staying in touch.
With the people there who make me feel wanted.
And missed.
And cared about.
We are all human and even if some people don't realize it?
I can't be the strong one all of the time.
And maybe I don't understand what I write here?
But I do know, it's all from my heart.
We all, at some point in our lives.
Need that hand on the shoulder.
That smile.
From friends.....
Thank you.

Lake Bethany - A walk around the lake
Great time yesterday. Just a snippet, 2 hours captured (sort of) in 2 minutes.

A Walk in the Woods....
Go take a hike.
I'm used to hearing that from people...or at least in my mind it's what I hear them say.
And I'm not talking about going out to get some fresh air :)
Though...that's what we did today.
Go take a hike.
Peaceful.
Quiet.
We walked around the lake, binoculars in hand and had it all to ourselves except for 2 old gents who were hiking with their walking poles.
I wish you could have been there.
To hear the silence of the woods.
The silence of man made noise.
Just us and nature.
The birds flitting around.
Softly crunching on pine needles.
The crickets and cicadas for background noise.
The babbling brook we walked by.
The intoxicating smell of wild grapes fermenting.
I didn't want to leave that spot.
The birds were flitting all around.
A huge hawk flew right past us.
Chickadees and Tufted Titmouse.
Robins and Blue Jays.
Butterflies.
Dragonflies.
Getting excited watching little Sunnys swim by.
Why do we whisper when we are in peaceful surroundings?
We whispered....
Excellent start to the long weekend.
I took a lot of pictures as we sauntered.
Slide show soon.
Keep calm and let go.....

Friday night - a walk at the beach
A beautiful night at the beach.
It's getting darker sooner....but, oh, what a gorgeous night.
Breezy and cool, high tide.
The sound of the waves crashing.
Gulls squawking, looking for fries and seafood fron the drive in ob the beach.
Lots of folks out walking. Biking. Walking their dogs....
Swimming.
Kids at the skateboard park.
Others playing softball on the field across the street.
I love the way the wind feels.
It takes my breath away.
Long holiday weekend ahead.
I'll enjoy and try to decompress after a long work week.
We skipped the ice cream spot.
Home now and enjoying a last cup of coffee at 8pm.
After all, I can sleep in tomorrow :)
