I had a pretty rough evening, but instead of wallowing in my moody blues, I decided to get out of the house and I found myself walking down at the riverfront park. It was just what I needed to help clear my head, extremely therapeutic. There was a group of people that a couple of guys playing bongos, which at first I thought was a little strange, but the rhythms were oddly soothing. I found an unoccupied bench perfect for just sitting and watching the activity out on the water. There were some people riding on some jet skiis, and when they left I enjoyed just sitting there quietly watching the wake ripple out in decorative designs,. I could literally feel my stress just melting away. A little while later I got to watch the paddleboat come around the corner, that was fun. I have never seen it in motion, it has always been docked whenever I have seen it so that was a nice change. I love the sound it makes as the paddlewheel churns the river water – bliss!
I stayed at the park long enough to see the sun start to set, and decided it was time to return home and deal with my life. Not so glamorous, but here I am. I am going to have to make some really big, and difficult decisions in the next couple of months. Who do I want to be? Where do I want to go? Where do I want to live? etc, etc, etc. Sometimes being a grown-up is soooo not fun. But I am determined to hold my head high, and truly live like the queen of my life! Right now there is only one person that I can count on, and that person is me.
Have a FABULOUS evening!

You did just the right thing sis. When I used to live in the beach cities in California, I would go to the beach and let the waves and sounds and sun wash me of all my worries. It is very healing. It gets you out of the house, into fresh air that allows you to get some Vitamin D (sun) and let the wind and sounds carry those worries away for awhile.
