why do we love the beach so much?!
We just got back from our nice one week vacation to the beaches of Boca Raton, Palm Beaches and Miami Beach....me, Will and Diego....
Malaya couldn't come with us this time because she decided to go visiting with her Dad in West Virginia earlier this summer....then off to NYC for the start of her college life....
It was so much funnnn!!!! as always....
it seems every year, we have to go the beach....it's our mecca, our pilgrimage to release all the stress of living day to day in inland Georgia....far, far away from the ocean!
The beach always has that refreshing effect on us....it's not just a release from everything
but it has a way of making you appreciate the simple things in Life....
Nature, the beauty of the blue waters, the ripple of the ocean waves along the shores....the sandy white shores....the seagulls and other sea birds like the geese in their flight....so random and yet so perfectly placed.
Everything seems perfect on the beach. No matter how hot the sun may be...you can always cover yourself up with a nice beach hat, globs of suntan lotion (SPF 50 preferably!), and you can always come back in the later hours of the afternoon, into the evenings....
and the beach at night! with the moonlight lighting your footpath....walking barefoot on the shore....with your loved ones....who can ask for more?
Everytime we're at the beach, we always say...."This is the Life"....
so if this is the Life for us, we've arrived at the point in our not so young lives anymore
to ask ourselves: why not live by the beach instead???
If we already know what we know, and that all our vacations are mostly spent adoring the sun and ocean....then why not leave everything behind, like we already did ---- when we left NYC for Georgia....and move somewhere closer to the beach....
How come we just suffice with the summer vacations? one to two weeks out of everyday life??
How come we can't live like we're constantly on vacation, even if we have to go to work each day...cause that's still our reality...right? until we retire, ha,ha,ha...
One day, i know, one day...each time we go on our summer pilgrimage to the beaches....
one day...we will live our dream of living close or closer to the beach! no matter the hurricanes that frequent Florida....that's part of Life down there....i suppose you gotta take the good with the bad, like anywhere really. Life is that way.
