Spring is here!!!

Ok so now I have added a picture of D Beach which is close to where I live for all of you to see. I now will be adding pictures to the blog of our area so you can all see where we are and what is happening. Spring is here and this young girls heart turns to travel. Our first trip is going to be to Silver Creek Falls State Park. It is about three hours from here but i am looking forward to taking the dogs and going on some walks. We will go soon. I am just waiting to make sure we have aweek without rain (OH sure!!!) But they tell me it does happen sometimes here.
I am still trying to find a new job. Old one sucks but I am taking a new approach and am going to stop being so cautious and overly professional and just be me (UH-OH!) So, I am going to start living authentically and be true to myself.
Then I am going to embrace Oregon, and try to see as much of it as I can while it is warm (?) and see if I survive it for the summer. Then I will be making decisions on what I will be doing for the next half of my life. 60 will be a real turning point. This middle age thing is a real page turner I tell you! But I need to get more exercise and I need to see new sights although the changing ocean and the flux of the tides is really fascinating to me.
I will download pictures of Siletz Bay that I pass each day to and from work at high and low tide so you can see what I mean. It makes me stop a lot just to watch the play of water. We women are so tied to the tides that it is amazing that we don't live in the ocean! Think about it, most of you love baths, the ancient's relate the moon as a woman, our female cycle is usually 28 days like the moon, which in turn creates the tides that contols the largest bodies of water on the earth. Mother Earth I might add. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Well, it is quite a coincidence don't you think? Or am I going off the deep end?
Well maybe so, but it is a trip I have survived many times and come out wiser. So, I will celebrate the small triumphs today. This is a small look at where I am. Cold and beautiful. Flowers are blooming and I am itching to get moving and find new places to explore.
I am back.
