The 31 Days of Writing Challenge continues. It’s Day 23 of my 31 Days of Gratitude.

I am also linking up with Cari for Theme Thursday: Good Job.

Cari prompted us to post a photo that we did a good job on. I took these this week when I was out on my morning walk. Normally, the waves are pretty calm but this day they were rough and wild. It left me breathless and I wished I could capture what I was seeing and hearing and feeling but I couldn’t do it justice. However, I only had my iphone (my old one finally bit the dust so I upgraded to the iphone 6) and even though it was a camera phone in the hands of an amateur photographer, I still think I did a pretty good job. (Let’s not talk about the fact that it took 100 shots to get these four.) 😉

The view from the Monterey Bay Coastal Trail.

My zen seagull that I posted on Instagram earlier this week. The waves never bothered him.

When I was done with my walk I drove the scenic route home. There are little turnoffs where you can park and watch the ocean and I couldn’t resist stopping.

I made it down to the water and after last week’s hectic craze I was thanking God that this week I was able to regroup and re-energize myself. God always seems to know when I am at the end of my rope. Circumstances ease up and I get a little respite. For that I am truly thankful.
