The Ocean and Me

Anyone who knows me even a little will understand the title of this blog. A Seashell in my Pocket and Sand Between my toes is my favorite status to put on my Facebook when I am visiting the beach. In fact, the first time I said it I thought it sounded like a great childrens book. Someone should write one one day.

I love the coast, the sand, the sun, the ocean breezes, the sound of pounding surf pounding and seagulls laughing, the stunning beauty of sunsets over the sound. When I am at the beach, walking along the shoreline, no matter what time of year, I am at my most peaceful. As soon as I can hear the ocean waves I start to relax, as I top the dunes and my eyes catch the first glimpses of the vast expanse of ocean before me the tensions in my life begin to drift away, as my feet slip into the sand and i feel its texture on my skin my breathing automatically becomes deep as I drink in the beauty around me. The beach is my sanctuary, the place where I can think, and dream, where I feel the closest to my Creator.
