I am so glad I have been able to go to the beach two weeks in a row. It makes me feel like myself again.
I have thought of the ocean as an old friend and I needed to go pay a visit. When I don't get to go off by myself I get really irritated. My goals are to keep things nice and quite and I spend a lot of energy trying to get things that way.
I walk my dogs so they will be quite at home. I feed my chickens and they get quite. All in an effort to relax and enjoy my home. The things that break that up, like my neighbors that yell at 7 am really get my goat. I have no idea how they can get that made and be screaming on the top of their lungs that early. I'm still walking around with my cup of coffee.
When I get a chance to go to the beach and swim, it helps me cope with the other stresses in my life. At work and at home. I get a chance to calm down and get some peace of mind. I don't need to smoke anything or take pills, just a few hours at the beach does it for me. I drive home happy and sometimes get the car up to 80 just for fun. When I get home the feeling stays with me and I'm just so happy.
Last weekend was bad at my work, but it didn't get to me like it has other times. I can just replay the day before and feel happy again. I have been indoors way too long and getting out in the sun felt so good yesterday. I will keep that feeling with me today as well.
