Another Day in Paradise

What a glorious day.  I started off by seeing Dr. M, followed it up by having Aziyza work on that horrible knot that is causing me so much pain - I feel so much better now!  Then, off to the beach with some friends.  It was wonderful!

We found a sea grape tree that had formed a grotto-like area and set up in the shade.  I was able to get some reading done (I'm working on it Wendy!) and did a lot of walking. I was delighted to play with Brady - the greatest dog ever - am seriously contemplating a dognapping.  Spent a lot of time just limin'.  It was wonderful to watch the water, listen to the waves, and enjoy the peace.

We fired up the grill at sunset and had burgers while enjoying the view.  After dinner, we lit a bonfire and watched the different-colored flames dance along the driftwood.  Four people left and three of us stayed behind to enjoy the peace.

Alas, I needed a bathroom, so I had to wander the mile or so back to the car.  You forget how dark night can be when there are no lights anywhere near. As I meandered slowly back to the car, I pondered the death of chivalry.  No man in my family would let a woman walk that distance alone in the dark.  At least I had my trusty little LED key ring light.  It didn't throw much light, but at least it stopped me from stepping on anything harmful.

I'm pleasantly exhausted.  This was a perfect day.  Simple but joyful.
