Our days flow into one another like a stream that winds around each curve, beckoning to see what lies ahead. We’ve fallen into a regular routine idling away peacefully without a care in the world.
Our morning begins with reading and quiet meditation. Of course we are missing our meditation room at home, but we’ve acclimated to our new surroundings.
After meditation and checking out our phones, we take a walk around the pond. It’s a lovely pond with lots of birds. Today we spotted about half a dozen turtles.
Three days a week we head to Planet Fitness for some strength training. As we get older our muscles atrophy easily if we don’t use them. Bruce seems to get his muscle tone back quicker than I, but isn’t that usual for men.
It was a gorgeous day yesterday with the temperature around 80, so we headed to the beach. After a lot of driving around we finally found a parking space. In Delray Beach they have metered parking on the street. It’s actually very convenient if you can find the space.
The beach was lovely with people social distancing from one another. If I can say one good thing about this pandemic, it’s that beaches have been far less crowded which is ok by me.
Bruce went into the ocean and I put my feet in. Water temp is about 73. It was pretty chilly.
We had a little visitor, a little seagull which hung out with us for awhile. I think he was looking for a bite to eat. So sorry we didn’t have a thing to eat.
For lunch we headed to Atlantic Avenue where the restaurants were in full gear. We found a little cafe, Serenity and Tea By The Sea. I had a feta and spinach quiche and Bruce had ham and cheddar. We also had scones, raspberry and blueberry.
In the afternoon we headed over to my sister Linda’s pool. It was a great day for a dip. Linda and Stan made dinner for us and then we played some cards.
Today we went to the gym and then had coffee with friends. We also took a trip to Costco, always a feat in itself. One older gentleman almost ran us over with his cart three times. Boy oh boy. I had to remind a Bruce that people here don’t have the politeness of the people in South Carolina.
I have to admit I am really enjoying our stay here and not missing the colder weather or dreariness of home. For lunch we went to ihop. I had Swedish pancakes and Bruce had the 2x2x2 for seniors.
Now I’m sitting on my patio, a cool breeze making it very comfortable sitting outside. At this point in my life, I am happy and peaceful almost anywhere and I am grateful for my life, just the way it is.
