People here complain about the fog, about the wind, and about being cold----year 'round. Even though we live in a natural paradise, we still feel the need to complain about. . . something, anything.

I'm remembering how I've missed the sun lately and so am taking full, everyday advantage of our (all-too-brief, I know) bout of sunny, warm (it got up to 70 at the ocean yesterday!) weather, basking on the balmy sand and pebbles at the beach, listening to waves crashing, seagulls squawking, and sea lions barking in the distance while hanging out with my constant companion, Kipper-the-dog. On this third day in a row of doing essentially the same thing, I think I will add a picnic lunch and a journal to the scene (and try harder not to temporarily lose my keys today) and allow us even more time to BE.
