And as I looked up…
Since my neck was hurting I naturally raised my head and started to look up. Nothing but blue sky…but, wait…is that? Yes it is. GEESE! Who doesn’t stop and look up when a flock of geese flies overhead? Well, I do, and I did. Imagine seeing them, like specks in the distance, all gathered in …
And time stood still…
So, we got back from our dog walk/canal visit, and decided to continue on down to the beach. It soon became apparant that I was the only one who wanted to walk, so Sam took the dogs back inside and bid me farewell and have a nice walk. Good thing because this was the 30 …
Across the street
If you have a dog, or dogs, you know what it means to get up at the crack of dawn. We haven’t needed an alarm clock for over two years now. On this mindful Tuesday last week, getting up with the dogs was a blessing. After spending a couple minutes appreciating the sunrise, we walked …
Being there
I guess I could say that I am working diligently on being present, for everything. Lately, “everything” hasn’t been something I really want to be fully present for, so spending time on the beach seemed like a golden opportunity to find some sort of balance. It worked. I’m still glowing…inside. So, on this Tuesday morning, …
2 1/2 days at the beach, in slow motion
It’s becoming obvious. I need to be near the ocean. I thrive when my feet are in the sand and the sound of crashing waves dominates. I feel myself open up and let go. I want to soak it all in and hold the feeling somewhere inside forever. So that’s what I tried to do …
Standing on water
Saw this guy when I was out for an early morning walk at Sandbridge last weekend. He seems like he is one with the water. So peaceful. So dignified. Dare I say, so simple?
Rebuilding the ant hill after the rain.
Today’s image of simplicity. There are anthills all over this campground. You’d be hard pressed to find a square foot of ground without one. This day I happened to be looking down and saw this anthill, all wet and fresh with two or three ants busily stacking pieces of dirt up, one after another, …
Shells on a shelf.
Today’s image of simplicity. I found these pieces on Sandbridge Beach during my two night getaway earlier this month. Broken parts of shells that once were perfectly formed treasures of the sea–solid homes for squishy little creatures, suddenly cast aside in the interest of more space. Then they floated, and floated and rushed up …
Today’s images of simplicity
After being here for over a month, we decided it was time to take a walk around Colonial Williamsburg…on the first really hot day of the year. We had been waiting for the humidity to come. This day it did. Just enough to bring on some serious sweat. But still, there was so much to …
After the sunrise
Today’s moment of simplicity. Three weeks ago we stayed a couple days at my aunt and uncle’s house on the beach. We went to help them out with moving, but the reward was so worth it. Two days looking out at the Atlantic Ocean. A real horizon. Nothing obstructing the view. I felt nourished …
