The Simple Things in Life
Today after teaching my noontime water exercise class, I took my weimeraner ‘COCO’ to dog beach just a little north of Huntington. It was her second time there and she was still hesitant to go into the water. We played fetch for about an hour. I headed down to this small hole-in-the-wall enviro-friendly restaurant called the ‘Secret Spot’. It’s off of PCH and Warner in Huntington Beach. I ordered a green tea and a breakfast burrito. So I sat at a patio table with Coco and ate my burrito and drank my tea while gazing into the horizon over the ocean. Even with all the cars zipping down PCH, I experienced a moment of peacefulness and serenity; I’m here sipping my tea and eating my burrito while the rest of the world is busy working. The moment was priceless and I thought to myself, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m a fitness professional with my own business,… I make my own schedule. I don’t make a lot of money (not just yet, wait till I’m a licensed physical therapist) but I do well with the little I make. There’s something about not making a ton of cash that allows you to appreciate the ’simple things’ in life. Once my business takes off, I hope that my values never change.
