Grad-ah-tude

Bunches and bunches of it!!!

I had a albeit brief, but much enjoyed vacation this week. One of my sibs had a vacent time share in a beautiful spot near the ocean, and only a hour drive time. Another sib and I took advantage and became commuters for the week. I did manage to sneak one complete and total day off. And for that I am oh so oh so oh so oh so grateful!!!

Absolutely just what the dr. ordered for this girl I can tell you that!!! I think I managed to enjoy the hell out of my brief respite more so than if it was a full week off!! The sleeping late part did not really work for me, to used to getting up and going. But I was able to enjoy a awesome walk along the bay to breakfast next to the water, followed by lunch next to the water, and then do a little wandering that led me to a park surrounded by water .... is there a theme here or what??

The park was for sure the highlight of my adventures away from home for a day .... Big jiegundahuge rocks that I could climb down to, then sit on while the waves just crashed around me. Such a awesome inspiring place to be! I have to admit, as I sat there thrilling to the sounds, smells, and random water drops, I could not see how someone could miss out on knowing that there are powers greater than our self in the universe. I have had other nature inspired moments like that before, but I was really just awestruck by the well, of ... well EVERYTHING!!! I could literally feel the worries of the world just get sucked right out of me as the waves retreated from my rock. Life is good.

Sure, stuff has already snuck back it ... life is life after all. But it was great to really be able to turn it all over and wave good by. I am still re-charged and feeling good. And now I have this added experience to store in the tool box for when the stress of everyday is messing with my serenity. And if things get real desperate, the park is a mere hour away waiting to take my issues of the moment for a ride out to sea ............
