Chilling out…

I talked myself out of going out for the sunrise this morning because it was 27 degrees out. I told myself it would be so much warmer if I went out for the sunset. And it was warmer, 28 degrees is what the car told me. And a LOT of wind. This is Rock Harbor Beach in Orleans, MA. It wasn’t until I was heading home that I spotted the wharf, which made for a few more nice pictures, even without bobbing boats. It’s winter on Cape Cod. I will look forward to revisiting these spots in the summer, in flip flops.

Bodfish Park…

Recently a friend asked me if I had made any New Year’s resolutions. I started to say no, but then I realized that at this point in time I’m living my life according to his philosophy. And that is to have no plan, which means that life is always going according to plan. Not so different from how I’ve lived my life so far really, just more deliberate. As I got older I saw that life seemed to happen to me, I responded to the people and circumstances around me and somehow that became my life. I’m lucky it turned out as well as it did, but if I think about it I’m bothered by the idea that I didn’t take charge of my life more. Realizing it didn’t change anything, I’m still drifting. Like yesterday when I asked the GPS to take me to Sandy Neck Beach for the sunrise, but when I looked at the pictures I took with my phone they said the location was Bodfish Park. But the sunrise was still pretty so it turned out okay. Kind of like my life…
