Beach Trip

i don't want to work anymore

i don't want conflict as a way of life

for the first time, i don't want to go back to work

----

the first week off continued. Smitten and i decided to go to the beach. there is this beach outside the city - a small cottage community. not a resort community - a cottage community. it is up a hillside and has a small beach. it is about 10 miles from the big resort community outside our city.

i like the cottage place better.

1 store. that's it. fully treed in, little gravel roads, small lots, kind of crazy construction. no new lots allowed. no new construction areas.

the resort community is going full bore. it's a town - not a cottage place.

the resort community is kind of dun because of it's touristy nature, but like going to the fair/exhibition - only fun for a few hours at a time.

we went to the beach.

we laid in the sun.

we got tanned. dermatologists be damned. i have a vitamin D deficiency remember...

Smitten has seasonal affective disorder...

sunlight is good. it clears out a lot of cobwebs.

we went to the beach.

i was so at peace

i was so unstressed

i was so not worried about anyone or anything

i didn't have to worry about protecting myself or about possible sudden massive attack from out of nowhere

i just was

i was warm, and i was relaxed

sounds like a terrific break... I actually want to post about your last post... as far as the weight gain goes.. you know what you need to do.. also incorporate Smitten in all of that.. and lay off the alcohol.. and I bet it will melt right off.. You know what to do.. its just making yourself do it thats the hard part.. So as the Nike ad says JUST DO IT!!! much luck

Isn't the sun glorious? I've been worshiping this season too. It feels so good.
