I was going to share these last weeks, after my birthday weekend. But thought they might be better to share today, as we could all use a major break from the news and election and its results. The beach has always been my happy place, the best locale on the planet for me. Nothing like the sound, smell and sight of the seaside. As soon as we hit the beach last week, no, not in swimwear, I know disappointed no shot of that right? But just to take a walk, I could feel the being centered starting and stress melt away. On a beach, for me anyhow. nothing else matters, and the rest of the world is shut off. Just imagine the lucky souls living in the above house, with these views, and sounds daily. I will not view or watch any news today, at least till tonight. I was originally going to hang out a bit at Dem headquarters with staff and volunteers who helped with national, state, and local race elections work that was done, and I met some nice people, and a few cuties, but have now ditched that plan. I will meet my good friend and sister Mame after dinner, at a bar we hang in for a drink or two for a few results then come home and either go right to bed or watch some BBC comedies....and await the results, which I suspect will take days. Why worry and fret till they come in? it's out of my control. My anxiety and blood pressure will just go up. I must remember I did all I could, helping with various volunteering efforts, and placed my all-important vote.
But still, what I wouldn't give to be on this beach right now, awaiting the results to finish. And Rehoboth Beach yet no less, how ironic. That is a good sign, I hope.
Thank you for this.
ReplyDeleteI agree - getting a taste of sea air is such a tonic for the senses, and the mood...
ReplyDeleteNot sure I'd be comfortable that close to the sea when the winter storms kick in, mind! Jx
For me, the Sea of Tranquility is where Neil Armstrong landed his eagle on the moon, but I can appreciate how your beach drains away stress. I feel the same way about swimming in a cold, freshwater lake. Not today though, as it's snowing here!
