My Life Thus Far

The Sun Inspired Me

I was disappointed to wake up with still no voice. Well, a little bit of one, but it's weak and cracks in and out. I sound terrible. Not at all like myself. So, it was another day of silence. I brushed up on a few basic signs, so if strangers talked to me I could at least respond in some way other than a croak!

Aside from not being able to speak, I actually spend most of the day in a state of gratitude and happiness. I'm extraordinarily blessed, and more so today than most days, I really basked in that knowledge. I got up and made my customary morning smoothie. As I was washing and cutting all the fresh fruit that goes into it, I enjoyed the sun coming in the kitchen window, my kitties milling around my feet. I really took in everything around me, and felt a huge sense of peace and love in that moment. I may not have it all, but I have everything I need - and much more. So, that's how I started the day. A momentary blip of irritation, but more so than that, immense gratitude.

Out of the blue, I decided today would be a perfect day to hike Mt. Storm King! The sun inspired me. So, I got dressed and headed to Port Angeles. I love it up there so much. I actually entertained the idea of living there again, but Snookums squashed that. He has no desire to live there ever again. I think I only want to because I wish I didn't have to drive so far to hike Lake Crescent or go to Country Aire.

Long story short, I didn't get to hike Storm King. Last weeks windstorms had trees down all over the place. I'm not gonna lie, it was much more ambitious than I really needed to be taking on today, anyway. So, I hiked Marymere Falls. I've done it a thousand times, but not recently. Probably not in almost 2 years. Even though I visit Lake Crescent a lot. The waterfall was in full force because of all the rains we've been having. Downed trees blocked the lower loop of the trail, but the stairway going down to the lower observation area was still passable. The lower area is my favorite spot. You can feel the mist coming off the waterfall, and it's lovely after the challenging hike up.

And since I was there, I had to visit my beautiful lake. It's so funny, every time I go, I take a picture (or several) of the lake. And every time, there's a little greenish blue orb in the photo. Every single photo, and it happened again today. Every picture on the bottom right corner had the little orb. Different angles, different shots, different light levels. Yet, the orb didn't change. I want to research what the cause might be. I wonder if it's a spirit that's attached to me, or trying to get me to see it? I don't know if I believe those sorts of things, but I'm not opposed to believing either. I'm totally open to the idea that a spirit wants to communicate with me. I think it would be so cool!

Okay, so while I was thinking about it, I had to go do a little research. I found a paranormal website that shared what the different colored orbs could mean. The descriptions for green and blue orbs touched me so much, I'm crying.

*Green Orbs - In spiritual practice, green is associated with the heart. It is also associated with nature. Green orbs are sometimes thought to be an indication of the presence of a human spirit, as opposed to one that was never on Earth in human form. Likewise, green orbs may represent love or oneness with nature.

*Blue Orbs - Blue is spiritually associated with psychic energy and truth. It is a very calming color, and many people associate it with spiritual guidance. Some people feel blue orbs are a sign of a calming presence or energy, wile others feel they indicate the presence of a sprit guide in that location.

Wow... I've taken pictures of Lake Crescent for years. With different cameras, in different conditions. I've always gotten the orbs, and I'm just not starting to think that there may be more to this than just lighting conditions. What if this is real?
