Thoughts of today

My yoga teacher posted something on Facebook along the lines of "Walk outside and look up at the sky, life is beautiful!". I slept in this morning, completely missed the yoga class I had planned to attend, and was feeling a bit tired still and out of sorts... so I decided to take Danielle's advice and went for a walk.

It's a very short walk to the ocean here for me, just a couple of minutes and I was on the sand, feeling the solidity of the earth beneath my feet. It was a beautiful sunny day, but very windy so I took in the sound and the feel of the wind as well. I looked around at the blue sky, with white clouds moving along, and also the beautiful beautiful blue Cayman water, which was rippling and sparkling due to the wind and the sun.

I meandered along, taking in all the sensations I just described above. I listened to the crunching of the coral and rocks under my feet. I looked at the rocks and coral under my feet. Beautiful stuff.

I walked out to the end of the dock at Red Bay and found a little spot to settle into for a bit of meditation. I set the timer on my phone and just sat. I opened my eyes once in a while to take in the view of the dancing water, but I mostly just sat and felt the wind. I felt it not only on my skin and in my hair, but I felt it in the way it moved the water against the dock, which in turn, made the dock shake a bit. I almost thought someone was walking down the dock, the movement was so strong. Amazing how a wisp of wind can create such movement in the water.

I was reluctant to return home but was amazed at how quickly 40 mins passed, and I had to rush to get ready for a babysitting job! I spent a few hours today with Molly and Jake - my word - they are such sweet, interesting, smart kids! They both had so much to show me and tell me, I loved hearing everything they had to say!

Unfortunately I ended off the day by spending 6 hours at work... but that should definitely lessen my load this coming week. I will see AK tomorrow, run club is planned for Tuesday and I am getting highlights on Wednesday so I have some fun stuff to look forward to over the next few days! xo
