Today I achieved a goal that I set for myself. I have always wanted to walk from Hopkins Beach to Asilomar Beach. This morning I set out from home and not only did I achieve that, I ended up walking over 7 miles. Each day I push myself a little further and it has been helping me in more ways than I even probably realize. Most of all I find peace walking, I enjoy being in nature and I'm loving the new camera.
Keeping up with the 365 days of images is keeping me busy and giving me purpose. The walk, image taking and putting together the blog takes me several hours each day. Those hours give me pleasure and a reason to want to get up each day.
I know that Phil would be proud of me. I love the idea of keeping his memory alive.
Today was a good day and I'm appreciative of that.
There were many jellies on the beach today, plus all kinds of interesting sea weeds and kelp.
The birds were active, singing and I have to say although I can't identify them yet, I enjoy bird watching. When life opens up again I'm planning on taking some classes so I can identify them.
I walked and walked and walked some more, noticing all kinds of fun whimsical things as I went.
Flowers are starting to bloom and I'm taking time to admire them. The last 4 years as we progressed through Phil's journey with cancer, I learned that the small things are a big deal. Make sure to take that moment to enjoy the beauty around you, never miss the chance to tell someone how you feel about them, hugs are important. Life can change in a minute, each moment precious.
Here's to achieving goals!
For Phil
The memories are helping me get through.
I miss you!
