Today I had a beautiful walk. Instead of my usual beach or forest hike, I decided to walk into town, pick up my mail from the post office, have some breakfast at our favorite greasy spoon, and then grab a mocha from the gourmet/organic grocery store, which I sipped in the outside cafe area while feeding the little sparrows coffeecake crumbs.
Such a delicious day!
As I walked back home, I was thinking about how grateful I am about where we live. We’ve got the best of all worlds. Lots of beautiful outdoors and nature, but then also a wonderful, thriving arts and cultural community. We can hide away in our secluded waterfront home, and "civilization" is only a five minute drive away when we crave a bit of socializing. Our area is perfect for bicycle adventures with trails and bike routes in any direction.
I’ve been feeling a bit of wanderlust for some time now, and my boyfriend entertains this idea of someday living on our remote property in Alaska (you know, that you have to take a boat and plane to get to! I don’t think so!). But I just can’t imagine any place as perfect as where we live now. For that I’m really grateful.
What are you grateful for today?
Thanks for commenting. Yeah, the virtual assistant term is really completely idiotic to...
