Took a run/walk along the beach to try and ground myself on my January trauma anniversary #1.

An entire rugged coastline to myself.

Taste of salt
Smell of ocean air
Sound of sea birds and the gale winds
Sight of the coastline stretching as far as the eye could see
Feel of the setting sun, warm against my skin
And

Every

Step

Requiring conscious thought; the terrain lacking the comfortable consistency and familiarity of a concrete path.

Here's a photo of one of the lakes behind our house...walk across a field to get there. It was drizzly January winter weather so dark, calm colours.
It was good to do an exposure therapy walk despite the drizzle.
I lost one of my gloves so tomorrow's walk will be a treasure hunt to find it :laugh:

If you find my hat from last week, please pick that up, too! I'm glad you had a good walk.

Wonderful grounding! Wonderful things to see, and sense, and feel.

I found my glove @Wendell_R
Purely by chance tho - it was on the road bewteen the fields and the lakes, so grey on grey.



The other theme of the day was rain. Lots of pretty raindrops in the trees tho the camera of my phone had trouble capturing them

Last night it snowed. There is a state park near our house, so I walked off in that direction. It was a harder hike than usual because of the snow, but I love the peacefulness and the quiet of the snow.
