My last week in Homer

It's my last few days in Homer, AK, and I'm getting a heavy dose of pre-nostalgia coming on. While I'm truly no fan of goodbyes I enjoy the last days in a place more wholly than most of the others before them. I stare off of our cliff several more times a day (and night, now that it actually gets dark for a bit), I sit by the window more when I'm working (like now, even though this isn't exactly 'working'), I take my friends far less for granted. Every moment really does count, each and every day, but the last days in a place really hit that home for me.

All summer I've been driving out on the Homer Spit and passing this amazing set of tide pools that form just perfectly a few times a day. I've always meant to take a picture of it but always putting it off to a more convenient time. If there is one lesson that I feel like is being impressed upon me over and over again this last year or two it's been to not put things off. The best thing about now is that *gasp* it's right now! When ever is there a better time to do the things that make you happy?

Yesterday I finally took that picture. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I won!

Last week I bought a raffle ticket in the grocery store (the proceeds of which went to fight prostate cancer) and then later received a voicemail from the store manager. When I stopped in he said "congrats! you won a digital camera!". I paused and waited until he continued with "...and a bunch of M&Ms!"

"Yay!"

I have a camera already (and this one is only 3.2 megapixels) but I didn't have a big box of M&Ms! So anyway, I didn't just win it because my ticket was drawn but because my guess was within 2 pieces of how many of these lil' chocolates where in that box. Can you guess how many there were? Hint: if you can't figure it out from this post you might seriously need some help.

Have I mentioned lately that I love my life?

So here's the cool thing. If you're sitting there at you computer reading my website or whatever other source of inspiration you might find out there thinking about how you wish you could do something similar, then stop. You can! It's really not NEAR as hard as it seems. If you want to talk about it feel free to contact me. I love showing people who easy it really is.

Have a great day!
