Some days I feel better, some worse. Every day I&#8217;m tired, weary, fatigued.<br \/>\nOn &#8220;My Saturday,&#8221; I decided to go to Galilee. I planned on walking around the beach and the town, taking photos of the sunset and the full moon rise. I was so looking forward to it&#8211;it&#8217;s been weeks since I got to take photos. It&#8217;s good for my soul to have my camera in hand.<br \/>\nBut&#8230; I was just too tired. I had been coughing all day. I knew if I tried to walk anywhere, it would be too much for me. I sat in my car in the beach parking lot, watching the sun reach towards the horizon, feeling disappointed.<br \/>\nThen I decided, as I often do, to make the best of things. I started the car and drove down the street. The wonderful thing about where I live is you don&#8217;t have to go far to find beauty. I pulled over on the side of the road, bundled up in my winter hat and scarf, and took it all in. No walking, no pushing myself. Just a roadside view that gets passed by hundreds of people every day as they zoom down the road towards the ferry. I surprised myself by taking 7 photos. Once the sun dipped below the horizon, I got back in the car and drove away.<\/p>\n<p>While I want to feel better, of course, I suppose I should use this time to rest. Perhaps it&#8217;s the universe&#8217;s way of telling me to slow down and take it easy. Admittedly, I have a habit of taking on too much. Though I&#8217;m eager to get back to my normal routine, I&#8217;m going to try to enjoy this in some way. It&#8217;s easy enough to be sad for no good reason; can we be happy for no good reason too?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/@41.379567,-71.4991419,3a,75y,176.83h,87.8t\/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1ssWe-gRWCmTKZ5DOGrTveZQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D2.1973628141597175%26panoid%3DsWe-gRWCmTKZ5DOGrTveZQ%26yaw%3D176.82645502325394!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu&amp;g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTIxMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D\">9FHQ+MR Narragansett, Rhode Island<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; when will i feel better? i just want to get back to normal! am i even improving? why don&#8217;t i feel well yet? it&#8217;s been weeks! i want to go out photographing. i want to go to the gym. i want to take a sunset stroll on the beach. i want to go for &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/photograf-in-two-worlds.com\/?p=1041\" class=\"more-link\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;134* Thoughts of a Sick Girl&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":0,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
