Saturday surprises 1/7/12

• For a nothing-planned day, it's turned out pretty dayum great.  Started off with a sunrise beachwalk, haven't done that in a while.  Sunbella made a volcanic show of rising through the smattering of clouds.  She was burning embers as she got close to the skyline, spraying up in a "V" of lava.  Made me stop, get a solid grip on my coffee mug so I didn't spill it, and remind myself to breathe as the show unfolded.  Plus a bonus call from my SGD made my walk even more special.
• Did some early morning pool time with two lady Snowbirds.  One told me about Book Warehouse in Surfside going out of business and all books are $1.00.  Couldn't pass that up, so I went adventuring.  Bought some books, hit Myrtle's Market for fresh produce, stopped by Benjamin's Bagels to see my buddy Lee that ran the kitchen for the Red Cross Christmas Dinner.  Got to see the inner workings of a bagel shop, a new experience.
• Back in time for a barefoot beachwalk.  Got into the upper 60s today.  My feet love feeling that warm sand.  Nothing like it to make my entire body relax and say "ahh."
• Even got in some work this afternoon.  An unexpected adventure, a smidgen of play, toasty sand between my toes, and words flowing from my pen made this a dandy day.  Think I'll top it off with sunset watching and a glass of wine.
