UNKNOWN DESTINATION
UNKNOWN
DESTINATION
After a few nights of insomnia, I finally crashed Thursday night
and slept quite a bit. It felt good to catch up on sleep, until I found myself
falling back asleep just a few short hours later. This would have been
yesterday, the warm sun filled day. I dozed deeply until about 5 pm. My plans
to explore an unknown destination were now derailed. I quickly jumped out of
bed (again), threw on clothes and ran out the door to try to salvage the
remaining daylight hours.
I hiked, I walked, I ride,I trudged through spring sludge, I
breathed, I jogged, I climbed hills, chatted with strangers, laughed, observed
nature, contemplated and soaked up the still brightly lit sky.
A bench high up on a hill provided me with a few minutes
of solitude to rest and look out at what appeared to be a screen of bright
blue. The water and sky reflected the same color, making the view in front of
me feel and look surreal. As always, I enjoyed the experience of it.
The sky had a few remaining streaks of light as I wrapped up my
late afternoon romp.
and that would have been almost 8:00 pm! I love the longer
days!!!!!
While I had originally planned on a day trek out somewhere else
(close eyes, point to map, finger lands on destination of the day), this short
‘journey’ sufficed. Not bad for last minute damage control.
The desire to go out today was strong, although the persistent
rain has been unappealing enough to keep me home. Sometimes I like walking in
the rain, other times, such as today, it does not interest me at all. I’m
pining for some more sunshine. I am however, figuring out my next few
destinations and activities.
.. and figuring out a few other things out as well. All in time,
all in time..
Right now though, I am making a cup of coffee and heading
towards my room. Its been a super busy two years and this is pretty much the
last of the purging process that I began several weeks ago. I wonder what kind
of forgotten treasures I will find?
The weekend is half over… wonder what else there is to do. I
hope to find something fun and interesting to do socially, yet I am not
ambitious enough to make sure it happens. Default activity will be to finish
reading my national geographic adventure magazine to further fill my head with
ideas
lots of places to go, things to do
