I’m here. I arrived yesterday early afternoon. The only change I’ve noticed so far at the cottage is the coffee pot, and I can handle that. ‘Use what you have’ as the expression goes. The view is the same, but of course it’s always different--that’s the way of the sun and the sea. This foggy and rainy morning there was no sunrise to delight in, but that didn’t matter. I knew it was happening as I sat on the deck (living room) for an hour and half, grateful for what was in front of me and for this opportunity to be here for another season.
Now, a few hours later, there are breaks in the clouds on the horizon; the rain has stopped; the sea is quiet but busy. I’ve made some oatmeal, posted the daily quote on this blog, checked my email, started my ‘Lighthouse of New England’ jigsaw puzzle and am about to head out to walk the beach. I want to bask in the silence, solitude and simplicity. ‘Very grateful.’
