Joyeux Noël II

Almost every time I walk the seawall I say to myself, "This could be the nicest walk yet." Perhaps that is why I do it. It is my church, as I have said. But today was very crowded—a disappointment after the wasteland of yesterday. But I was buoyed by lovely developments with my "crush" at a particularly meaningful time of year.

Today was particularly nice, though, because it was very warm and bright. And, I saw an otter just chilling in the sunshine.
