Was invited to hang out at the beach last night. This was our email correspondence:

I cough a lot.
Just so you know.
See you in a couple hours.

I talk a lot.

Hahaha.
We haven't seen each other in about a month.
She had much to share. And I got to practice 'listening'.
I mean, really listening.
We walked a couple miles along the shore, the tide was out, the sun was setting, the pier looked glorious, we ate fish n chips at an outdoor patio, and I didn't barely say a word. (Well, not in comparison.) :)
And not only did I speak little, I also, tragically, forgot to put my newly charged battery back in my camera. And I left my phone at her house. So I had NO photo-taking device on me.
My shutter finger twitched all evening. The colors? Were spell-binding. The reflection of the sun in the tide-pools was amazing. The glow in the air was magical. And all I could do was 'be in the moment' and not 'record the moment'. Which is something I don't do often.
It was an interesting experience.
If I didn't take a picture of it, did it really happen?

Watched a movie after that, that I can't recommend strongly enough that you don't watch: "Austenland - Obsessed with Pride and Prejudice (1995), a woman travels to a Jane Austen theme park in search for her perfect gentleman.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But I DO highly recommend watching this; Kevin Bacon's entrance onto The Tonight Show. SO so fun. I loved that movie. And that song. And may have been dancing in my bedroom at 2 am with my earphones in my ears, while attached to my laptop, which was plugged into the wall. So the dancing wasn't frantic is what I'm saying.
I really need a music source down here.
Three things I'm thankful for:
1. The 80's
2. Happy music that makes me smile and wiggle.
3. Soft kleenex
Shalom,
