Who's that lounging in my chair? Mama, this surely is a dream.

I've not caught the "blogger bug" that's going around. It seems super contagious. Where all of a sudden bloggers feel like they need to "unplug" and/or stop blogging so much. I'm not close enough with any bloggers to catch this, thankfully. But I've definitely unplugged and it was kind of intentional. Sometimes I think of things I wouldn't mind blogging about but by the time I'm around or remember, the feeling to blog is gone and I'm onto the next thing. 

Last Friday while driving around aimlessly on my day off, I decided to just turn onto to the highway towards my hometown, Daytona Beach. It's been so so so long since I've been there. I definitely have even avoided going there at times because often times no matter who I'm with or how much fun I'm  having, there's a sense of sadness and nostalgia that creeps in. 

But I went and I drove myself straight to the ocean. I needed a "reset" so desperately. Closing my eyes and just standing in the water. As the waves washed away so did any negative, toxic energy and thoughts I had. Filling myself up with light and love. I was there for an hour while the sun started to set. It was probably the most calm and at peace I've felt in a long while. 

I decided to have dinner on the river, and even visited the Lighthouse. It was so strange to be somewhere that I worked for so many years as an on-looker and not an employee. It ended up being the greatest day I've had this month.
