The sun rose today and it was a beautiful, rather warm day (especially for the end of October). And I will take it. I don't think I could have handled a cloudy day gray today. And I am hearing rumors it will be a nice day on Saturday so I am thinking I may head to the shore and do homework there. There's no such thing as a bad day at the beach. One of my happy places. The other is the woods but I have too much to get done to go hiking. So I do think my happy place is telling me to come and visit. Bury my feet in the sand, listen to the birds and the waves and just be at peace.
I'm sure everyone reading this has a happy place. I have been away from mine for way too long at this point. I think it's time to make me a priority again.
OCEAN
The waves crash on the sand
Coming and going
Over and over
There is no rhyme or reason to it
All of my senses engaged
The taste of the salty air
The feel of the ocean breeze
The smell of the low tide
The sound of the birds talking
The view of the sand and water
Here there is peace
No matter the season
Or the tempestuousness of the waves
Just for a moment
Nothing else matters
