Sunsets look different every time.  There’s no perfect one over another. They all light up the sky with bright and fiery colors.  Sometimes the sky really takes on a new life and meaning after the sun disappears for the night.  This is the best time for me.

Peace.

Some experiences are indescribable to others.  You just had to be there!  I usually hear this when people talk about the Grand Canyon or other natural wonders.   We had this experience right here on Honeymoon Island, our favorite, local beach.  It was a beautiful Sunday morning, low tide and it was manatee mating season.

Manatees are protected under Federal law.  Please don’t touch them like the disrespectful people did on this day.  Why do people think it’s alright to touch a wild animal? I wonder.  I think I hear me saying, “Don’t touch them!”  You know I can’t keep my mouth shut.  See me at the end on the left backing up.

The manatee is protected under federal law by the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 and by the Endangered Species Act of 1973, which makes it illegal to harass, hunt, capture or kill any marine mammal. The manatee is also protected by the Florida Manatee Sanctuary Act of 1978, which states: “It is unlawful for any person, at any time, intentionally or negligently, to annoy, molest, harass, or disturb any manatee.”

It’s Breast Cancer Awareness month! 1 in 8 American women will get breast cancer in their lifetime.  Did you know that men can get breast cancer too?

It’s time to start training to Save the Ta-Tas.  I started my day with a walk around the nearby pond and the Pinellas trail.  It’s very motivating to walk next to the elders and they are kicking my ass.  I want to be like them when I grow up!  There were several groups of people walking, biking and getting their sweat on.

My first mile took 17:39 min. which was pretty good for me.  I broke my 2 mile mark and will work on getting up to 3 miles soon.

Special love to my breast cancer survivor friends.  You are my sheroes!
