buona sera!
I like my new job. It gives me free days during the week. Which means Laura can venture off to the beach unhindered by tourists! How fun. No seriously, folks, going to the beach on Wednesday is so much better during the summer, less non-Mainers to take up space. Today was perfect for the beach, too. It wasn't too hot, but not so cold the ocean was breeze was unpleasant. I went to someplace new, Crescent Beach with a friend. Oh boy, it was glorious. I know, my life isn't too exciting if a day at the beach is considered new. But I really must recommend it. Sometimes, sitting in the sunshine can be such a healing experience.
Although, I felt tired and drowsy upon leaving my little spot of sunshine, I just generally felt better about life. Beaches tend to be packed with people, but it's not a loud or noisy place. It's easy to absorb into yourself and ignore the rest of the world. The only sounds able to break the reverie are the waves moving onto the beach. The sand was soft underneath, and I could feel myself just soaking in the light. Maybe Vitamin D really is a magical cure, because even through my prevailing sadness, I could almost physically feel myself healing.
Well, maybe that was the sunburn.
I just overall enjoyed my day. I did a little reading (a couple more pages closer to finishing Vikings), took a short nap (man, naps are the best), and chatted merrily with a very good and new friend. I love making new friends. I like discovering the things we have in common and hearing their views on life and society and feminism and books or what they enjoy. I like connecting with them. I am grateful for my new friends. I am grateful for all my friends.
I know it hasn't exactly been a pleasant time for most of them to be around me, but amazingly, many of them have remained by my side and are actively helping me reach a better place. So, thank you to all my readers, friends, and most importantly, the beach. No, no, not really. But today is the day that I encourage all people to just say thank you maybe to all of those friends helping you and loving you and being there.
so thank you :) I send you all my love!
