Morning Walk and a Good Day


Thanks, everyone for your well-wishes. The headache is just part of the difficulty I have adjusting to the schedule to do the paper route. One more day and I can go back to being a night owl.

Much to my surprise, when I finished today, for the first day all week, I did not have a headache and I felt GOOD. Wow! So I started by taking a walk on the south breakwall of the Pentwater channel. It was a lovely calm morning, with the last traces of a fog making everything look soft.

Pentwater Channel

A young couple was "spooning" on the opposite side in the shadow of the lighthouse, but they cut it out and just sat still for a few minutes, so I snapped their silhouette with "The Three Sisters" dunes in the background. That's their name... it's collective. As far as I know, they aren't individuals like Edith or Iona or Charlotte.

Walking back to my car, I just liked the way these sailboats at anchor looked in Pentwater Lake.

I continued to feel good all day. I did some gardening, and some maintenance things, and treated myself to a burger cooked over a fire. I only ate one! The rest will still have the great open fire flavor all week, even when warmed in the microwave.

I think I may be able to fall asleep fairly early again, so I'm off to bed soon. Definitely a quality day, just one more morning of paper route!

  13. There's nothing like feeing good! I'm so glad to hear that...and the walk by that lovely lake had to add to your day! I love the shot of the lighthouse - and the sailboats.

    I spent hours today trying to clean up and my best friend ( 49 years!! ) arrives tomorrow for two weeks. Things are chaos as I've slowly been trying to pack the house for my move...still don't know when it will happen - but by the end of September!
