Feeling Good

What a beautiful day it was. Strange, how even if it is windy or not to your specification, it is still a beautiful day. It is not -30 C below with snow and wind. We do not have to dress up in overcoats, hats and mitts, wear boots or shovel snow. The only thing we are pushing is the sand with our toes! Very nice. We did a lot of 'beach walking' today. It is not easy. It is delightful, watching the waves and getting caught up in them at various places along the shore, but basically, just walking along and digging our toes into the sand, exercising our calves and toe muscles. After living in orthotics for 3 years, my legs and toes are in shock! Balance has been somthing I have lost these past 3 years but I think I am developing it again. I have not been wearing my orthos and instead have been walking barefoot in the sand and wearing sandals. My calves are talking to me right now and my toes are screaming at me in the middle of the night, but besides these voices in my ears, things seem to be getting back to my 'new' normal.

We watched an absolutely beautiful sunrise tonite. It doesn't get much better than this. Blue sky, pink & yellow sunset, good friends, a glass of wine and great food. Gosh, God has  blessed us beyond measure (if I can say that without sounding crass).
