Beach Day!

August 5, 2011 / Lindsey / 2 Comments

I have to tell you about a really wonderful day this week! My mom had emailed me saying “wanna go swimming tomorrow?” DO I! I could hardly sleep I was so excited, I felt like a little kid. It was an extremely hot day the next day and we drove to a reservoir that had a swimming beach. We had the best time! When was the last time you went swimming in a lake?? Ages ago? Me too. It’s much more fun than a swimming pool and different than ocean swimming (more serene, no rip tides). We did pause — only for a second! — to remark about the water (“it’s…GREEN”) but tossed precaution aside and went in. We were both literally squealing in delight, it felt so good to be in water!!!

Yummy snack…

After being in the water, I soaked in the sun on the beach and ~~evened out my farmer’s tan~~ got some vitamin D. I forgot how delicious it feels to lie in the hot sun after being in the water — like a sun sauna!

After swimming we took a little walk through a bog into a very quiet, very still, very enchanted meadow where two mama deer were grazing with their fawns.

Unfortunately the place was absolutely infested with mosquitoes, so we hardly spent any time here, even though it was so enchanting and inviting.

“Quick, get a picture of this place so we can look at it later!” we only half joked, while swatting at arms and legs!

After that we went to Whole Foods for lunch!

I felt like I was on vacation the entire time. And I could just feel the damage being undone from some of those stressful workdays where I’d go outside at lunch and cry! What a wonderful day of rejuvenation and joy…

At the Edge of a Dream…

August 2, 2011 / Lindsey / 5 Comments

As I was coming back from the dream world early one morning last week, I heard these words in my head. Not my words…I don’t fully understand them…but they seem thought-provoking enough to share:

“Everything’s breaking so it can be put together in a new way”
