Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary

Lazy. Resting. Reading Mary Higgins Clark. But if Dan and I read/nap, we let Punch watch 'Supergirl' show on a phone. Too much screen time not good. Then long walk at Audubon, my heaven. Photos below from our journey, 5 to 7 p.m. Punch has a good heart but has been giving us a run for our money the last couple days. Good  night. TCOY

1. Good mileage on Fitbit.
2. Dan made veggie stir-fry and Punch made chicken for dinner.
3. Reading, resting.
4. Some blueberries.
5. Filled my soul with that Wellfleet beauty. Unsurpassed. And while walking and listening, amidst green marsh grass and under painterly sky, I thought it would be good to have a job, a job with benefits and paid vacation, a desk and coworkers I can leave and return to. How do I put this? It occurred to me that I miss vacation being a precious break from work. If it's too free and taken for granted, it can lose its shine and feel rambling. Also, as a freelancer, I have had to work for part of my vacation time lately. I remembered in the marsh the days that I had staff jobs I could leave behind for a week or two, and focus on my family. This insight was important.
