Sometimes I forget to emphasize on here when I enjoy the good stuff. And I need to remind myself that there are very good times in my life. Especially when I start to feel overwhelmed by entropy.
I had such a lovely relaxing kayak trip through the Everglades yesterday. It was just what I needed to bring me to my happy place.
And of course, it reminded me that life can be dangerous and unpredictable, even in its beauty. Here is an alligator I saw napping in the sun.
There was a spot farther on where we heard an alligator bellowing a deep primal growl. I didn't have the wits to record it because my lizard brain was screaming RUNNNNN, or at least paddle faster. The answering bellow was equally terrifying. I'm not sure if never seeing them made it better or worse.
I made it out safely and feeling better than I had in a while.
