The workday was still heavy on my shoulders. I had been incapable of shaking the energy that weighed down the entire shift. Nothing had gone right, even though nothing had really happened. I was going to give up and spend the rest of the day on the couch. I was fortunate enough to get home before dark for once. I went inside and completely changed my mind.
"No. One more thing." Is what I heard.
"Find the water."
So I threw on the jacket and hauled the dogs back out the door.
We reached the beach with moments still left in the day.
The dogs ran wild, ate mysterious sea things, I yelled and it seemed all completely hopeless. Next time they will stay home and I will sit and stare.
We walked home as the rain started to fall. As if it was telling me, "go inside now. There's nothing more you can do." Accept that today was a lousy day and maybe tomorrow I can start all over.
At least I can try again.

Oh, I love comments. Just remember, the love you get is equal to the love you give. That is not a threat.
