Tonight as I rest my head on my pillow I will have sweet dreams of a beautiful day that God graced upon me. I awoke this morning with my husband next to me and as I opened my eyes he was smiling at me. We have been celebrating the last of summer on the beach. Fall will soon be upon us in the north and it is always nice to spend the last of summer on Hilton Head Island. As I sat on the beach today, I enjoyed the sun and cloud mixture. There was a feeling of a calm atmosphere after yesterday's storms that passed through the area. I found solitude as I listened to music and watched people enjoying the beautiful day. I found myself at times drifting off to sleep as I was so relaxed.
Just a few days ago I wasn't sure that I even wanted to go anywhere as I have been feeling poorly and not sleeping well. Three weeks ago I was going out to take Laney for a walk and right in front of my house I fell. I am still wondering how the fall happened. It was like some force of nature pushed me down and in a matter of a few seconds I was injured. My right knee took the brunt of the fall and I can tell you cement burn is not fun. It has taken three weeks to heal. After three different types of bandages and allergic reactions to the sticky bandages, I finally gave up and left the wound open to the air. The blisters from the allergic reaction were as painful as the wound. My dad got the privilege of seeing my leg and let me know just how disgusting it looked. The burning sensations and the feeling of needles prickling my knee every time I rolled over in bed was not fun. I thought maybe I could do a commercial for I have fallen and I can't get up. Thank goodness my husband was with me when I fell as I needed help getting up as my whole body hurt. There were no broken bones just pain and bruises. Cement is hard and thank goodness so are my bones. Never fear I have kept walking despite the injury as our 5k is coming soon for the Light The Night with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
My sleep patterns have been disrupted lately and the lack of sleep has taken its toll on me. Hoping that this fun end to our summer will give me much needed rest. Walked on the beach this evening and saw a beautiful sunset and then the full moon decided to peak from behind a cloud and cast a ray of light across the ocean. It looked as if we could have walked right out onto the ocean and who knows where the path of light would have led. It was absolutely beautiful, as we stood there looking at the moon and thanking God for another beautiful day! So goodnight to the world and may tomorrow be a blessed and wonderful day for you where ever you are. Sleep well and be at peace.
Life is beautiful on the beach !!
