You know what they say, “all work and no fun,…” Sometimes I focus too much on what I have yet to finish that I forget to take time to play.
My morning motivation to see the sunrise was to think about a new topic for a #TacomaMath video. I got some fun photos that will either inspire an episode about vertical lines



or maybe be something about the change of position of sunrise over time.


Enter the best part of my morning walk—a harbor seal pup gamboling about in the water. I watched her spin and flip and play. She was so close that when she plunged beneath the water I could see a trail of tiny bubbles and follow her movements. The lesson: be like the seal pup—take time for exploration and play.
I didn’t get a good picture up close but if you look at the cover image to this post, you can spot her there.
