Forever and a day, 2 ways
love 2 things happened today that I haven't had happen in years.
It started out last night about midnight, I literally thought myself to sleep. Ever do that? Just have a million thoughts, all tangents sprouting from 1 thought to another, and not being able to just shut off your mind and go to sleep? Well that was me last night til about 3 am! I have gone through so much this past week. From laughing and smiling at a comic convention (minus the seeing my ex part) to being completely crushed at the loss of a very close friend and her daughter in China's massive earthquake. I was in a melancholy state and I ended up laying in bed with eyes open just thinking...and thinking.
On a lighter note, I also did a activity I haven't done since childhood. I went with a few friends down to a huge lake and we rented a couple of sailboats! I haven't been on a small boat in years, and never have been on a sailboat. These were small 3 man 25 foot boats and we had 2 people in 2 boats. Let me tell you, if you evvverr get the chance to go on a sailboat...DO IT! It was so much fun and you feel so 'free' from moving on the water simply from the power of the wind. No oars, no noisy motor, just the sound of a huge sail lightly flapping in the breeze. It was a perfect day too. 83 degrees with a light wind. I am definitely going to go again soon! It was exactly what I needed to help me just relax and get back to good ol' zen glen.
Peace.
