Reclaiming my Spot


Summer brings so many people here to enjoy everything the Cape has to offer, that it is nearly impossible to park at "my" favorite spot - the parking lot at the overlook in front of the Chatham Coast Guard Station Lighthouse.  How thrilled I was on Sunday to find an open spot at sunset. Early Autumn brought a lovely sky and relative quiet.  I thought about reclaiming on many levels as I enjoyed the view out over the water, and noticed how much more the beach has re-built itself this year.  In what seems like a short time ago, this view was only of ocean, and a small bar of sand jutting down from the north, now it is a vast area of sand again, taking its place anew.
The struggle for a static existence is heard and seen all around me, yet this changing scene reminds me to go with change, savor it, and my ability to adapt as these sands -dramatically in severe storms, and over beautiful calm summers.  Me, too, and, and my life is just what it should be at this very time.......

We are exactly where we are supposed to be. Personally? I would skip the Cape in summer and come visit in October!!
