My Journey With Health And Fitness – Enjoying The Beauty

Ok, I truly believe I am going to get everything home by time I head to the airport hotel Tuesday. I was quite panicky at the beginning of the week as the amount I had to get done was a bit overwhelming. I prioritized things by 1) if it was a paying client and 2) is there a hard deadline. The client’s work was completed by Wednesday. I then moved on to dealing with election reporting which surprised me at how little time it took simply because I was really organized. Now I am on things that would be nice to get done and at this point I believe they all will be. I have even managed to get some packing done so it has been a good week.

The weather here the past few days has been absolutely gorgeous. It has gotten quite sunny and warm out. Even this morning heading out on my walk at 5:00am it wasn’t long before I wanted to take off my light weight jacket. And there were so many people out walking that early. One things I noticed was how happy everyone seemed to be. There were tons of good mornings and have a nice days going on as people were just enjoying our lovely promenade.

Yesterday as I was walking on the pier a woman about my age stopped me and said, isn’t it beautiful. I looked around and saw the tide was heading out and the seagulls were walking in the shallow water. I noticed the water was really calm and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. I looked in the bay and there were a lot of kayakers and paddleboarders just enjoying the peacefulness of it all. So I turned to the woman and said no, it is spectacular!

I spent the rest of my walk just being really cognizant of the beauty surrounding me. I realized how lucky I am to live in a place where you can experience this on a regular basis. It was the same this morning once the sun came up and you could just feel the calmness of everyone. Even a train cooperated for me so that it had passed the pier crossing by time I got there. I don’t know why but even the dogs seemed happier today (though one aussie shepherd hasn’t been able to be on the beach for a couple days because of the high tide first thing and he wasn’t very happy about it). I think it is that it is really difficult to be unhappy when you have such wonderful surroundings.

I have 2 more walks I can get in before leaving on vacation and I plan on enjoying the beauty just as much as the past few days.

For the next couple weeks my posts will be non-existence at worst and sporadic at best. This is my first trip in quite a while where I will be trying to be offline as much as I can in order to really have a relaxing time.
