Waiting More Than a Dozen Years

A very brief update as I sit up here on the balcony overlooking the Atlantic Ocena and the beach....

I have been back to walking a lot in the last month; in part as a team member in a walking challenge and in part because it is something that helps me clear and assmebe my thoughts. My goal over the length of the challenge (60 days, is 1,000,000 steps. So far I am on target 35 days into the challenge. My weight hasn't changed much but my body shape is readjusting to the increased physical activity.

This morning as I walked the beach (the sand makes for the use of a different set of muscles or at least enough different in combination with the other muscles in use during walking that I can really feel a different sort of 'burn'), I was thinking about what "this beach" means in my life.

It was this beach (only a couple of miles from where I am now) that my first wife revealed all the details of the affair she was having while we were vacationing with her other siblings and their families in a large house we had rented. It was here where my life became irrevocably altered, and even though I had hopes of rebuilding tha marriage in the face of such devastating news, and the end of the marriage began to be cast.

It was also here, that the last time that I ML with my first wife occurred, the culmination of a marriage that had become sexless after the birth of our son.

As I was walking down the beach I also realized that there is an incredible amount of solace I egt from being by the ocean as if I can tap into a little bit of ts energy and use it to resolve any situation.

Justa few random thoughts for the moment.
