It has been a long time since I managed a dawn walk on the beach but our weather has finally turned and with things to do later in the day I decided that today was the day to get back to the early morning routine which cold weather forced me to abandon. What a dawn it was. First just a glimpse of sun on the horizon, then full-blown brilliance.
Not only did I see many of the regular morning walkers that I've missed seeing over the winter but there were two Easter sunrise services taking place on the beach about a mile apart and I was treated to the strains of some lovely hymns along the way. I also have to admit that getting back to a routine is more than comfortable. Felt like putting on an old pair of shoes. But that's another story...
Unfortunately my old shoes finally fell apart and the new ones I was wearing today though comfortable in the store and around the house proved to be less than kind to my feet after a mile or so. I finally understood the old Southern expression "my dogs are barking" because by the time I got home, I was more than happy to let my poor dogs escape from those new shoes. Pleasures in small things like taking off some hurting shoes is what makes life grand.
