Every morning we take our dog, isabela, on a walk. Usually we go across the street to the beach, but lately we have been venturing into the hills. It’s peaceful in the morning, and as we walk, pumping our legs up the hills, getting our heart rates up, and listening to the sounds of the birds and the ocean in the background, there is a peace that comes over us.
The pandemic has changed everyone’s lives, and some of it is teaching us about ourselves and putting things into perspective. But some of it is just difficult. Taking a walk and being in the moment is healthy for us.
We have it so easy compared to most people. Our lives are not that different except that we are finding ourselves even more engaged with our community’s response to the pandemic. Mask making, donating more money to the food bank and to people who are providing cleaning supplies to those in need. And believe me, there are many in need here.
Today we focused on enjoying the morning with our dog. It seemed enough.

The ocean has such an allure.
When the waves crash onto the rocks and send the spray up, it thrills me. I may be easy to please.
We previously have not gone to this little beach, but tried it out yesterday and today. Such fun.
Walking home and seeing the house from the back side is so different now that the studio and the wall are there.
And if the walk wasn’t enough, we get home to these beauties.
NICE to hear “your voice” through these posts. I got to walk with you guys for a minute, with those lovely pictures and narrative. Stay smart, safe, and connected:)
It was nice to “talk” and walk with you for a minute.
