Waiting for the Right Moment!

Today being the only day off I will have this week, I decided to take a long walk on the beach. I headed for Bouge Pier, which is one of my favorite places to be in the mornings. It was the  first time in quite sometime that I was able to get out early enough before the sun came up and started bearing down with all its heat and intensity. The ocean was angry, with huge waves hitting the shoreline and driving me back up near what was left of the sand dunes to try to stay dry. Surfers were out in full force trying to catch that perfect wave. As for the many others it was a battle to even paddle out without getting barrel rolled by the oncoming of one wave after another. It was nice and cool enough for a hooded sweatshirt but once the sun made its way through the clouds I was ready to shed it and take a dip. But of course I didn’t, walking, taking pictures and enjoying my morning was all I had in mind. I’m missing my digital camera something fierce and I am resorting back to film which isn’t too bad. I just have to get these rolls developed and see if my skills haven’t faded from this very long sabbatical from the camera.

The pier was busy despite being disfigured by Hurricane Irene. Irene took out the last portion of the pier and now sits awaiting repairs. In the day or two after Irene I went out to inspect the damage and today was astonished to see that they had fixed the covered benches that was about to fall in and moved the barrier closer to give the fishermen more room to fish. Not sure if that is the safest thing to do but look who’s out testing it anyway.. LOL

Many people were out fishing and just like me taking pictures of the crazy surfers who brave the uncontrollable waters. I guess you are never to old to surf and so it seems anything for that matter.

Waiting for the Right Moment.

Well I’m going to take a little nap, because I deserve it, then get up off this couch and clean my house. It’s going to be a very long weekend and I’m already looking forward to Monday and Tuesday.. Better start planning for my days off in advance..

Until next time take care and God Bless!!!!

Blistering Friday Morning.

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last post and I feel my life has changed quite a bit since then. It has been a very enlightening couple of weeks to say the least.

Lets just say that when I awoke this morning to a beautiful sunrise in my backyard, I thanked God for being here. The wind was bone crushingly cold as I stood in awe of the sun coming up in the distance. As I stood there shivering in the wind, but quite warm in thought, I started to reflect back on how I got here in the first place. It has been a long while since I was able to relax and have no emotional stress in my life. Yes I’m struggling with finances, relationships, kids, and just life in itself but, I’m here. I have so many good friends, family, and a wonderful God who allows me to catch these perfect moments in life. Who knows what could happen tomorrow, but all I know is, is this was my moment to breathe, and be thankful for what I have in front of me. I choose to never let it go, and this is and will always be apart of me and who I am. I love my God and I know he loves me. What ever path he chooses me to be on I will try my hardest to be steadfast and do what is right. Keeping ALL of my friends close to my heart and loving each and everyone that comes into my life.

I wish Everyone a Very Merry Christmas and a Wonderful and Happy New Year..

Be Safe and have Fun…. See ya in 2010 🙂
