15: Just Another Day


Sandy Beach. Douglas, AK.  2012
Valentine's is just another day.  For some, it's a time to say, "Hey, I want to take this day to show you how much I love you."  Which is awesome, I can appreciate that.  For others, it's just another day.  For me, it was just another day, I just wished it was as beautiful as it was this day at Sandy Beach. My day started well enough.  I woke up, stretched out a bunch in bed (which is probably one of my favorite of morning rituals), watched a little Hulu, then made my way to my Power Pump class.  My instructor started the day with, "Happy Valentine's Day!  If you have a Valentine, great!  If you don't, you can be your own because you are here taking care of your heart today."  That set me up for the rest of the day.  

I went home, rested a little after a POWERPUMP of a workout.  Then made my way to work, slowly but surely.   Eventually, I just got exhausted.  Too many personalities for the most part, but still a good visit.  My day is ending with a glass of Shiraz, some ramen noodles, and a spinach salad.  I would have much rather enjoyed sitting at the beach on a day like the one above.  

A cool breeze.  The ocean scent.  No worries.  No stress.  No hurdles to overcome.  Nothing.  Just me and the world, sitting side by side, enjoying each other's silent company...
