Day 275 – Cider Night

Originally I had something planned for my intention today. But when I met Vinny at home in the early evening, he was recovering from a fairly rough day. We all have them and he doesn’t have many which is nice, so I wanted to honor that. Clearly he needed a different kind of night than what I had planned.

I do not plan out all of my intentions- I quite enjoy the spontaneity of them as often as possible. So, with that I asked him to get in the car and come with me for a new idea.

I drove us over to the nearest Dunkin Donuts to get some nice hot cider. Vinny opted for hot chocolate but I went with the apple cider. It was the perfect cider kind of evening- overcast and a bit chilly. We headed right on down to the beach. I told him I just wanted to sit together in the cool evening air- on the wall that was separating us from the high tide and just have our drinks, chat and relax into our evening. Dinner was cooking at home and the night was ours. We sat there talking and sipping our warm fall-time drinks, breathing in the ocean air and watching a couple of surfers.  

By the time we left, he was smiling and said he felt so much better. Sometimes what may seem like a bad day just requires reflection, perspective and a change of pace and scenery certainly helps as well.

I am so happy that my impromptu intention helped turned my hubby’s bad day into a wonderful night. #Cheers #oceanairhelpseverything #HGAL
