Breathing in the Beach...

I am about an hour away from heading to the beach with one of my best friends...

I have said it before, and I will probably say it dozens more times, I love the beach. There is just something about the smell of ocean water that propels my heart towards Christ. I do not know why, but I know that every time I am near the ocean I find my heart decompressing and becoming still. Not to mention, I love watching the sun set and rise over the ocean.. Talk about an amazing thing to observe.. You see, no two are the same, the colors are always different, the clouds create new elements, and each time it is as though the sky screams "His mercies are new every morning."

I love it.

So, here is to getting a break from packing, planning, working, and stressing to submerge my feet in sand, and breathe deeply the smell of salt water!

Memorial Weekend...

This weekend is going to be awesome, a friend is coming into town to hang out and gallivant around the city, we are headed to the beach with another friend all day on Saturday, and I have no doubt the majority of the weekend will be spent laughing, with great food, lots of adventures, and a whole lot of R&R.

I am really excited that this weekend starts with an early dismissal from work, and a chiropractor adjustment, but I am also careful to remember why we celebrate Memorial Weekend. So, thank you to all of you who have served, are serving or the families of those same people.
