June 8th


The other evening, I was lucky enough to have a few hours to myself. This doesn't happen often, so I really, really treasure that time. In my hours alone, I went on a jog, stopped by the beach to catch the sunset, and went to the library, all while listening to evening jazz.


Did you know that June 8th is World Ocean Day? To celebrate the day, Burl and I picked up some garbage along one of our favorite beaches. Some of the trash we found in just a short 5 minute walk included soda cans, beer bottles, chip wrappers, styrofoam, a plastic bag, and a feminine hygiene product. Yes, very, very gross. I'm trying to make it a habit to carry a bag to put found garbage in while Burl and I are out and about.

I do that same thing all the time! I just can't believe that people still throws their stuff out there. Can't.
Happy Ocean Day! Now that I finally live by the ocean, I was super thrilled...
