Yesterday...
I'm proud to say that I took the day off.
I went down to the coast to my in-laws to surprise Lesley and Katie...who were staying for the weekend and didn't know that I was coming.
All-in-all in sweltering heat...and a combination of walking, a bus, and train...and almost 3 hours of effort I made it!
Then after a cool drink it was down to the seafront at 6pm to watch the summer parade...and then spend a couple of hours on the seafront and in the sea with Katie.
As we watched the sun go down it made me realize how grateful I am to be able to spend such nice, wonderful moments like we did...just splashing around in the sea during this record-breaking heatwave that we are having.
Finally...it was amazing to watch a fireworks display at 10pm whilst laying on the beach in my swimshorts! (This must be the first and last time it would be warm enough here in the UK to do that!)
Twenty four hours later and I'm back typing this...and feeling good and at peace with the world in return for a $25 train fare...and a couple of hours effort.
Life isn't about how much you earn, what job title you have, or the size of your house.
It's about the things that money CAN'T buy...that don't cost you a single penny to experience!
That's what life is ALL about!
