Wednesday thoughts 11/2/11

• Double bonus sunrise this morning.  Got to see Sunbella rise behind Mother Ocean, then rise again from behind a cloud bank.  What a show!
• At sunrise, it was 41 degrees in Myrtle, 34 degrees in Conway, only 10 miles away.  The breeze coming off the ocean makes a huge difference in the temps.  I'll take it as warm as I can get it.
• Seems odd that while it's been in the chilly 60s here, my homeys back in Missouri have been relishing the 70s of Indian summer.  My SGD even gave his yard a final mowing yesterday.  Enjoy it while you can.  Sounds like a preview of winter is coming to MO fast.  And MB is expecting the 70s to return next week.
• Needed a change of scenery while editing my book this morning, so I went to the atrium.  Can't imagine having a better place to work than being drenched by sun pouring in through the windows AND being able to look at the ocean's beauty when my mind needed a pause.
• Have I mentioned all the wonderful things about staying here at Bluewater Resort?  The staff are friendly and most helpful; the pools and hot tub are like my private spa -- hardly anyone else uses them; a guest laundry right here on site; a huge flat screen TV in the atrium with the remote at my disposal and tables/chairs/couches for lounging or working; everything is clean and manicured and lovingly cared for.  It's the perfect place to enjoy my Myrtle Beach journey.
• Later on:  Walked the beach this afternoon.  Nothing happened worth mentioning.  But this was the first day I had bare feet in a while -- no sneakers on today.  The warm sand between my toes felt so right, like having my hand held by someone I love.  Did a walking meditation with my feet in the ocean.  Life rarely gets better than this.
