No Bad Days

It used to irritate me to see the bumper stickers with the palm trees and the words, "No Bad Days".   However, after over a month by the water I have to admit there have been very few bad days.

There is just something magical about walking into the kitchen for your morning coffee and seeing the pacific rolling ashore.  Granted the weather has been overcast, but the pelicans still fly and the dolphins still surface.

All in all I am more relaxed and generally in a better place than I have been in sometime.  Maybe a change in setting really does make a difference?

Surfing with seals

Finally got in the ocean this weekend and hit some waves.  Nothing great, but as a reminder that the sea is always a good place to be a harbor seal surfaced a few feet away from us and lounged around for a few minutes.

Does make you wonder a bit what else lurks below. LOL

Dolphins have been back, and seem to hang out just west of the kelp beds.  The diving birds alert us to their where abouts, as there is much activity when they are around.

My dog has decided she no longer needs to go outside to relieve herself.  My damage deposit is all but gone.  If she doesn't change her ways, she may very well be too.

Dolphin Sightings

May Gray is officially here.  The coast has been socked in for the past few days, but the sunsets still manage to peek through.

A further highlight to offset the gloomy weather was the sighting of a pod of dolphins swimming by outside the window.  Not something you see in East County.

All in all I have settled in and beginning to find a rhythm.  The dog continues to have accidents, but that could be as much acting out as anything.  Still trying to get to the root of that problem.

Only surfed once since I have been here, but plan on changing that soon.  The La Jolla 1/2 marathon is behind me know, so I can just look forward to less running and more fun time.
