tonight marks the conclusion of my first clinical in my last year of pt school. while frantically packing my car and cleaning mitch's room, i began to reflect about how much i really enjoyed living there for the past 2 months. i ran two of my best races, lived with an incredibly nice guy, learned my way around virginia beach, got to see the ocean daily, met some really interesting people, read 'a walk in the woods', joined a local gym filled with incredibly loyal customers and loose canines, and discovered a lot about myself as a therapist as well as a person. i really am going to miss living there.
man, seeing the beach every day was such a treat. every time i was out on a run, i made it a point to catch part of the oceanfront. seeing the water, hearing the moving waves, and catching the sunrise casting along the shoreline never got old. i loved watching the beach transfer from those random warm days in october to the blistery days in december with the holiday lights on display. this morning before clinic, i ran on the beach covered in snow. the snow was packed down enough so that it was a soft ride but not too soft. the sky was filled with different colored clouds that left patches of blue in between each other so it was so beautiful. the sun shot different rays all over the place like separate daggers. i was blown away and felt so thankful to be there for that moment.
these past 2 months have flown by and i know the 2 weeks i have off for winter break are going to go even faster. i am really looking forward to cincinnati. i love exploring these new places that may not seem exciting to most people but to me, they are unmarked territory waiting to be claimed!
