Relaxed
I can hear the water as it tickles the bottom of the boat; a comforting sound. The sky is a bright blue with snippets of white puffy clouds and the sun is hovering around its 4 pm eastern position on this lovely day.
My book is splayed open in my right hand for ease in reading and the beach towel rolled up at the end of the boat seat provides an agreeable resting place for my head. The late hour of the day allows me to lounge on the metal seat without burning my legs.
Floating aimlessly behind my house, I can hear faint sounds of my younger brother and sister playing with our German Shepard, Yahtzee.
I am 13 and I am in my favorite place, doing my favorite thing in peace and relative quiet. Adrift and loving it.
