This morning I was thinking about what would be a perfect day. I guess it is something I was thinking about since lately my life has been about managing pain either through use of Tylenol or the generic for it in order to get through the day.
I would like to start by saying it is sometime in the summer months. I am still a kid that lives in the little town of Washington California. In the morning after a little breakfast I would be grabbing my pack and putting a gold pan, a trowel to dig with and one of my gold vials. I would decide if I wanted to go up or down river from town. Find a place along the banks of the river and find a spot to start taking gravel from and just panning for an hour or two. If I am by a pool in the river I may spend sometime swimming there before I head back home for lunch.
In the afternoon it wood be about swimming since I usually went down to the bridge swimming hole to see some of my friends or make new ones. It would be a mix of jumping off the rock swimming or just laying on the beach getting a little sun and talking to someone if they are interested. If I am lucky I have an inner tube and I can just float in the water for a bit before I have to head home for my evening meal. After that I might go for a little evening swim and maybe hang with some campers I have made friends with enjoy sitting around a fire and hearing them talk about their lives and long after the sun has set I would probably head home and either go inside or stay out side and look up at the stars. That would be a perfect day for me.
