Ocean Advice
Let your cares drift away.
Seas every opportunity.
Adapt to changing tides.
Surf life's rough waves.
Harbor strength and perseverance.
Don't be a shellfish.
Bet on a shore thing.
*Love*
We were fortunate to take a short trip to the beach this past week and, wow, what a gift. Some of my favorite pictures include:

| ...seas every opportunity... |

| ...surf life's rough waves... |
| ...harbor strength and perseverance... |
| ...don't be a shellfish... |

And speaking of gifts, the best one was to drive up for the weekend from the beach to son and family's house in sweet Alabama to see, for the first time, our newest grandbaby, sweet little Joy.

Drinking it all in, savoring, storing it up for the winter months ahead. When it's the coldest here, I'll be imagining those long walks along the water's edge. Like they say, "A walk on the beach is worth a thousand words." Hopefully this latest seaside "retreat" will stir an actual thousand words, and more, in writing projects in the weeks ahead.
Where do you like to go for a retreat--writing or otherwise?
