Feeling rested and happy here on the island. Went for a walk with my mom down to the bay. Water was a bit murky and seaweedy for my swimming taste, but it was nice to take in some nature and walk around in a quiet neighbourhood. The city can be too much hustle and bustle, you feel like you have to constantly be busy.
Had some wine at the pub and the best crab cakes I’ve ever had. So much flavour and charred nice on the outside, with fresh salsa. Now I’m just listening to the birds chirping, and the wild bunnies are in the yard. Hopefully the deer show up. I love nature so much, just have to work in my endurance in the trails.
I used to work as a park operator, and I loved being in nature so much. I would walk around picking up litter and got paid to look at beautiful serene sights, and wild animals. Deer, eagles, rabbits, bears, coyote. My mind would be clear, and I really felt connected to a world bigger than myself. It was lonely at night when I’d be by myself in the dark and yahoos would come up to start trouble. I had my emergency phone and bear mace, which thankfully I never had to use.
