yesterday at the beach...

Some days I wake up in the morning with only one thought in my head, well a few thoughts in fact. The beach, the ocean, the sun, the waves, the people, the sand, the smells, the sounds. Like, I feel like I just need it and I won't get through the day without it. I love that you can go and sit on the beach with your kids and do pretty much nothing and get home and feel like you accomplished a lot for the day. Actually packing up and getting two usually hungry, thirsty, sweaty, and sandy kids back in the car sometimes does feel like quite the task. I LOVE my first sight of the ocean when I'm aching for it. It's like relief that it's still there, still the same, waiting to be enjoyed. Heavenly Father, thank you for making something so joyous and incredibly beautiful for us to love.
