Beautiful Saturday

It has been a beautiful day here. And this was just the tonic I needed. I caught up on my sleep finally, went for a walk on the beach, had friends come onboard, and had a good dinner.

We like to cook Thai and Chinese food. So tonight we fixed crispy fried eggplant and Hunan tofu. Delicious! We eat two meals a day with a light snack in the afternoon. It is all we need. I'm glad that both of us are on the same page with food--no salt, no meat except seafood, almost no processed food, lots of vegetables. We had arguments for years about food. I was the no salt, no carbs, no meat person and my wife was the meat, salt and pasta person. After her heart attack, things drastically changed in terms of her eating habits. No more arguments about food or booze. What a nice change that is!

Thanks for your kind thoughts and comments. I don't usually carry around so much melancholy. At least, today is happy and peaceful. I don't feel the weight of the world on me (thanks Mark for that description) now. Strange how all that responsibility and worry makes an appearance at times. Lack of sleep, too much analysis, projecting outcomes, self-pity--these are my pitfalls.

Now it's time to sit on deck and listen to the waves and the wind in the rigging. These are sounds that soothe my soul. Another day is just about done , and it was a beautiful one.
