Adrenaline

If I didn't look up then I would not have looked out on to the Pacific, and I would not have just noticed the Grey whale that spouted in front of my home and caused me to run outside with my husband not far behind me as I yelled "WHOOOOO-HOOO" at the top of my lungs. I would not have chuckled when my husband told me that I yelled so loud that I frightened the whale away. I would not have stood there for fifteen minutes, eyes firmly glued upon the water, feet firmly planted on the bluff, adrenaline pulsing wildly throughout my entire body.  I would not have followed that whale with my eyes as it lazily swam underneath the pier, leaving me with a ferociously beating heart and an unexpected adrenaline rush.

What might you have missed today that would have left you feeling alive?
