This morning
I spent an hour or so down on the beach.
I went to walk but also to recenter myself.
Not sure that was accomplished.
(I also stood right at the water's edge and said to the sea "Liz says hello.")
I sat on a bench for awhile.
I have to confess to a fascination about what people talk about.... Today conversations included switching bank accounts to one with a higher interest rate, someone's child, someone following up with a complaint, a book they really enjoyed, how dogs will follow their nose...
The funniest was when I heard someone say, "uh-oh." I looked up to see a jogger pick up her little dog as a man on a hoover board went by. She called out, "He's not okay with hoover boards yet!" The dog started barking and all three of us connected with a smile.
For my staycation week I decided to sign up for an art class being presented this week and next.
This is still very much in progress.
I am embracing the beginner mindset.
Somewhere on there it says, "Don't ask why."
Sometimes I do that too much.
I can see some connections with this project to what I am doing with my Peace and Plenty blanket. I have been thinking of as something to doodle on for awhile...adding words, shapes and lines as they occur to me.
As a kind of journal.
And then there is this.
