Communing With Nature

More Beach Stone

I am back at Cape May continuing my book.  At 7 a.m. this morning I was on the beach. I filled two hefty freezer bags with stones and communed with a couple of seagulls that pecked at the bags thinking the stones were food.  Unfortunately, they put a big hole in the bag and made it more difficult for me to carry the stones across the street to my hotel room.  But they were beautiful all the same....I love choosing the different colors and shapes.  They almost call me to them.  It is inspirational and natural and puts me in the mood to write, when I am connected to the earth. After that, I had a ballroom dance lesson.... where we worked on some new rumba steps. They were a little difficult to learn, but it feels good to conquer the turns which have frustrated me before.

Today I am reading everything that I have written for my newest novel;  40,000 words and then tomorrow I will start back with Chapter 18. It's exciting and I am happy with the direction of the story.
