Lessons from leisure
Tomorrow, we are heading back north; of course, we will stop halfway to watch the Steelers game. It's been wonderful and here are some lessons from my leisure:
* "No-see-um" the best name ever for a tiny insect whose bite itches for a very long time.
* I am drawn to the whole concept of a lighthouse and a lighthouse keeeper.
* Amazing how quickly the storms come in and move out while at the shore -- I think that is true both literally and metaphorically.
* The female loggerhead sea turtle will journey over 800 miles to come back to the place where she was born to lay her eggs.
* Before one swims in the ocean for any long period of time, one should probably have some clue about what one is doing.
* Watching and listening to the steady rhythm of the waves is therapeutic
* A good vacation is one that stays with you and from which you return and live life more simply.

Great list of "lessons from leisure!" Like several of them. Driving 800 miles to lay eggs while pregnant sounds tough. But what determination. Yes on having a clue as to what one is doing while swimming in the ocean. Also like the concept of lighthouse and lighthouse keeper. Important job. Nice observations! Thanks for sharing.
