Walked it off
Jul. 22nd, 2017 08:16 pmLast night I was feeling grouchy/angry/not right. I need to learn to go out when I feel that way...it was still light. I could have worked in the garden or walked the beach at my house.
I decided to go to my Happy beach today even though the shut off the trains and the substitute buses have a route the feels like punishment. They take giant Greyhound bites and run them through the inner city instead of the expressway. Takes twice as long to travel even with no traffic... with traffic three times as long. MAKES NO SENSE. The good think is that the bus is super comfortable, has wifi, electrical outlets, and even a bathroom. While the route was infuriating I would do it again now that I know where I am.
The beach was lovely. It did not get as hot as they said it would so I did not feel the heat. I walked the entire 3.5 miles (7 back and forth) and boy are my feet hating me at the moment.
I am happiest at the wrack line with the Piping plover and other shore birds. Found many more Sand dollars... each a slightly different color. I found a black one too. I wonder if that means anything? Started working on a poem ...need to work one some imagery....
The oddest thing I was was a small live clam. It must have read my thought about a splash of hot sauce and slurp... and it stuck out a tiny white foot and buried itself in the sand. I have never seen that before...and it was fast. I wish I thought about taking out my phone and videoing it as it "ran" away from me.
I really needed the walk and to be there today. I walked off the work week and house woes.
Dad met me up there and we ate at the pub so I did not have to cook dinner. Had a lobster roll...yummy.
Right now I would sell my soul to have someone rub peppermint lotion on my feet ;-)
