Sunshine

[Michael8072]

It's been rainy stormy and cloudy here for over a week. It's felt like forever since I've seen the sun! I woke up this morning to sunshiney sky! I pushed myself to get out of bed and seize the morning. I got changed filled the car up with gas and drove straight to the beach. I rolled up my pants put on my flip flops and started to walk up the pathway to the beach. Normally i go early in the morning when basically no one is on the beach. This was 1130 so more people. I looked at the tents and the people laying down and I almost turned around to head back to my car but the weather for the next 7 days at least is back to rainy and cloudy so this would be my last chance for a little bit to enjoy the beach and sun. So I pressed on. Walked by the people laying out and enjoyed my walk in the water. It was nice and I'm glad I did it but I'm so tired now.

Just noticed your photo and thought how lovely it would be to be there this morning. Listening to the sound of the waves. Even in the rain I quite like the beach 😊 hope your day is peaceful x

[Michael8072 in reply to Hidden]

Agreed. I would love to live on the beach. I'd be sitting outside all the time rain or shine listening and watching. It is my dream! Hope your having a wonderful day!

[Hidden in reply to Michael8072]

Yes , nothing quite like those sounds especially very early morning , and how it looks ..would love it

Hope your days ok, mines not too bad, I’m in costa right now, off home soon 😊

[Michael8072 in reply to Hidden]

Yes. Watching the sunrise every morning would be amazing!

Sounds like your out and about? Have a safe trip home!

I've been peeling eggplant for the last 2 hours. Some parts of my hands are purplish right now. Big Italian dinner to prep for on Saturday night. I'm alone with my thoughts though. Trying to listen to music but sometimes like now my thoughts seem to override the music as much as I try to ignore them! I keep telling myself all is good.

[Hidden in reply to Michael8072]

Yes I get the mind wander ..

Keep taking it back to the music ..

I do same with meditation, mind wander , then I take it back to the voice and music of meditation, mindfulness practise ,

Our minds have had years of us worrying and anxious , learnt behaviour..so it takes time to retrain them 😊

Back home now, quite a good day, a walk , which was lovely , and a coffee later on in costa 😊

Good wishes, hope the meal goes well 🌼

[Michael8072 in reply to Hidden]

Glad you had a good day! Do you drink your coffee black or cream and sugar? On an occasion ill have a coffee with cream and sugar!

Your right it will take a while to retrain our brains. I will try to keep at it.

Thanks. I'll let you know how it goes! Hope you have a great evening.

[Hidden in reply to Michael8072]

Yes be good to hear how it goes , good luck with it..
