I feel like I should say something about the tragic events in Paris. But I just don't know what. It feels like just yesterday that my home city banded together and got through the Boston Marathon bombing. My heart hurts for the people of Paris. I hope they know that the world cries with them and supports them.
When my mind won't shut off or emotion overwhelms me, the ocean is one of the things that I gravitate to. The consistency of the waves rolling in and out, the smell of salty air and the sound of the waves are calming to me.
I jokingly tell people that someday I'll pack up and leave my little corner of the world. But the reality is - if the ocean isn't nearby, that will never happen. I'm just not made to live in a land-locked state. I need the ocean too much.
What is it you like best about where you live?

I agree..in fact, I spent time at the beach this morning....
ReplyDeleteWe live not to far from the beach so I have to agree it is very calming but I also love to just sit out in the woods and listen to the birds.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The ocean has the most calming presence for me. It's one of the only times I can really shut down my head. The mountains are great, too.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the Paris horror. It makes me sick.
I lived in Utah for 6 years. There were things about it that were fantastic. But also things that weren't so great. The biggest thing missing was the ocean.
