Day 135 – The Lighthouse

I just found out that I live just a little over a mile away from an accessible lighthouse on the nearby Goat Island. There is a small bridge that leads to this island just down the road from me. I have lived here almost a year now and have never gone there - no particular reason why, I just haven’t. I needed something to do for my intention today and as I was out and about I was thinking of what in my area I could do or explore as a neat intention.

I drove across the bridge that had about 15-20 fisherman on it. I went over and parked at the Hyatt Regancy and talked to a gentleman who directed me on how to access the lighthouse. It was only a couple hours away from sundown, the breeze had picked up and the air was slightly cool but completely comfortable.  As I walked around the paved path, I noticed a long row of Adirondack chairs inviting me in to sit at the shore and take in the most breathtaking view- and so I did just that. As I sat there I noticed a faint smell of gas- as I looked around I realized I was right by a fire pit that was lit and beautiful. The large bridge leading to my island was in the distance, the boats were everywhere in the bay and the water was choppy enough to be heard but not quite rough.
As I walked on, there it was- a beautiful lighthouse! It wasn’t as big as some of the other lighthouses I have been to but Goat Island is quite small and quaint so that was totally understandable. I took some pictures and then stood there just taking in my surroundings. I found myself with a large smile on my face and actually felt compelled to call my husband and say how happy I was to be doing this today. We decided that we will surely come back soon to take in a sunset together with the fire going, sitting in the chairs and visiting the adjoining bar for an ocean side cocktail and I am surely looking forward to that. I called my mom as well and shared with her that when she comes to visit I have another wonderful place to show her.

As I left I was smiling ear to ear and grateful deep in my heart and soul to be so blessed to have had this journey today. #lifeisgood #missingHGAL
