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
