It’s so, so hard to imagine that today is the second-to-last day of the year (and barely at that!). The past few weeks have flown by in a wink, and I am still standing here wondering where it all went!
To be fair, Christmas, and all that jazz that went with it, did take a huge slice off of my time (see here and here). We also got to catch up with some friends in nearby Sarasota, and check out the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg (totally on my Gulf Coast wish list). Last but not least, we caught up on some notable retail therapy, my favorite being the Waterside Shops in Naples, where you can pretty much find something for everybody (including a cute little kiddo shop for munchkin called Little Luxe!).
All to say, life can move awfully fast when you’re living in the moment, and this is no less true for that perfect sunset, which we caught a week ago. I recall it being one of those incredibly hectic days… I had just come back from an event with the Naples Mom's Society, only to learn that a good friend had just given birth to her precious baby girl! A couple of work telecons later (double sigh) – we found ourselves on the quiet Barefoot beach, admiring the ephemeral sunset. The entire experience felt fleeting, charmed, and a bit lucky – akin to a stolen kiss.
That was a fantastic day… and the icing on the cake? Candle-lit yoga to wrap up the evening!
I was in heaven.
