I've been having a rough couple of days. I'm trying to move past some life obstacles and hiccups that I can't seem to shake, and I took today for myself to do things I neglected over the weekend, as well some self reflection...and catch up on Walking Dead. On a side note, I've realized that if you're having a rough go of things, watching the Walking Dead might not be the best idea, as the possibility of turning into a crying mess is just too great. I lucked out today. There was no crying to be had.
Chug and I just got back from our early evening walk. I live pretty close to the water and there is a great view point in the park we walk that looks across the Puget Sound out to Vashon and Blake Islands. The sun was about to kiss the Olympic mountains, and we sat at a bench to take in the sunset. A couple walked up the path and asked to join me, so I shoved over to make room for them. There we sat for 10 minutes, not talking, just enjoying this incredible view. As I was sitting there, I remembered that this is why I live here. As the sun disappeared, I looked at the couple and told them that was pretty good, thanked them for joining me. They thanked me for sharing the bench with them, said goodbye to Chug, and we went our separate ways.
Next time I'll take my camera. This time I had a quiet connection with both people and nature which seems to have helped quite a bit and no camera can capture that.
