One of the things I love about this place is that there is
no schedule. Everybody is pretty free to do whatever – whenever. This morning,
I slipped off to have a walk along the beach. (I have to do something to work
off at least some of the calories from last night's meal!)
There are very few people out this morning. I ran into a
couple walking their dogs along the beach and a family that is down from
Chicago for the week. There were a couple runners out this morning that were
too focused on their run to notice me, let alone stop and say "hey."
But other than that, I had the beach to myself. What a peaceful way to pass a
morning.
The solitude is not quite as complete as it can be in the
mountains where I can focus on broad sweeping vistas clear of the evidence of
other humans, but it is nice. Even with my back to the houses, there are boats
out there today; I cannot get my line of sight free of human artifacts. At
least there is less noise evidence here.
My walk took me from the house up the beach to the beach
club and back. The house is quiet just now. I came back and everybody was off
doing their own thing. It is nice and you just know that it isn't going to last
so I am enjoying the time to myself while I can! And to think; I could
be at some crowded frigging mall today! Oh, poor me!
Wherever you are today I hope that you have time to spend
with yourself and your thoughts.
