We were hoping to catch a glimpse of the salmon migrating upstream today, so we headed to a trail for a #summerofrich adventure where they’d recently been spotted.
It started raining as soon as we got there.
There was a cool breeze in the air. I finally felt ready for sweater weather.
We walked toward the river, saw a father and son fishing, as well as a couple of salmon swimming underwater.
The touch of the rain on my skin felt so freeing and exhilarating.
I could’ve stood there for hours.
I felt a sense of calmness surround me from the smell of the rain.
Listening to the sound of the rapidly moving water brought with it a soothing connection to nature.
We didn’t spend long there but just long enough to allow myself to be in the moment while letting go, or better yet, “washing away” some of my negative emotions.
