I'm confident again for the first time since I was like 19.

I really miss my husband now but spending some time apart for our respective self discoveries has been a good thing.

What are you discovering?

Any uncharted creeks?

@JoyfulSilence No uncharted creeks, unfortunately

@SwampFlower Then divert a stream and make your own!

A few times in my life I have been on a beach in a tidal estuary and loved carving channels between tide pools and the surf.

When I was a kid we would try to dam a side-channel of a local stream (whose main channel was on the other side of the little island we were at). We always failed since as the opening narrowed, the current got so strong that any rock we tossed in the breach was instantly swept away!

Gosh, it was so fun being a kid!

@JoyfulSilence that sounds super fun! Sadly there are rules and regulations to follow for creeks and rivers :(

@SwampFlower

Break some rules!

In my case, the river always eroded whatever rock walls we made. And the ocean waves obliterated any canals or castles.
