Finally get to relax a little. Maybe it's a bit too warm to be under a blanket. Get away from me, blanket! Ahh, much better! Now, where's my phone?  See the full story with my IG Close Friends Access 😉

Trying to stay mentally calm, thinking about an ocean beach out in the Pacific Northwest 🤩 Early morning, cold breeze, my footprints being washed away as I walk...
