Whoa Part 2 11/27/11

• Following my McD's outing, was energized by how gorgeous the day turned out after such an ominous start.  Walked 29 blocks north on Ocean Blvd to the Sky Wheel.  Lots of happy Sunday folks doing touristy things and eating at sidewalk restaurants around Plyler Park.  Sat outside Dirty Don's, OUR BAR when my SGD was here with me back in May, listening to Molly Hatchett.  I was missing him bad.  Glad he'll be here soon and we can have a Fat Tire at the beach bar together.   
• Walked back on the Boardwalk and met bikers, speed walkers, and a Beagle with a wheelie cart holding up his back legs smiling as he trotted by.  
• Shed my sneakers at 2nd Ave Pier where the Boardwalk ends and put my tootsies in the ocean to cool off.  A lady walking toward me was boogieing to her earbud music.  I nodded and said, "I like your style."  She responded with a smile and said, "Thank you for noticing."  
• The holiday beach crowd had thinned, so I relished long stretches where my footprints were solo in the sand.  The splish splash of the waves was the only sound.
• A morning of doing everything different seemed to unplug my writer's block.  Took snacks and coffee down to the ocean deck and got to work.  The words flowed, my writing voice was strong and funny, and my soul felt unburdened from being able to create.  A dayum good day.
