The last few days

I have been on the boat since Tuesday morning. The weather has been superb, with temperatures in the mid-70's.

After walks on the beach, naps and a fire, I feel wonderful. My sadness has lifted and dissipated as a fog does from being burned off by the sun.

It's hard to not feel joy in the face of such beauty. Even though tomorrow will see me be a year older, and yes, even old by Mark's definition, I'm aging in a good way. Or at least, that's what I've been told. Thank you for stopping by to say Hello.
Now, I will leave you with some photos from the water and beach.

    Water, a boat, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, sand and a warm fire, but most of all a devoted blonde companion. I can't think of anything better to lift your spirits and appreciate life as it is lived.

    Have a wonderful day Syd. I personally pray this day be the best one of the year just passed and the worst one of the year ahead. You sir are one of the strongest people I "know." It is now your turn to know it as well.

    Happy Birthday, Syd ! Thanks for showing us how you got out of the "doldrums". I have to remember, when I go that route, that a 24 hour span can change everything ... and to get out of myself. It really works.

    It's hard to believe that you're really not THAT far away! It' seems like another world.

    Love the pics! Your dog looks like such a sweetheart and faithful companion. Can relate to what you and your wife are going through with the elderly parents.
