monday morning beach blues

Good Morning from Fort Morgan, AL!

It’s raining pretty steadily this morning but I cannot complain. It’s so peaceful and so relaxing to be here and especially since it was so last minute, I have no expectations of getting tan this trip at all.

I loved every minute of the 9 hours of sleep I got last night.

I love not having to study anything for one whole week.

I love that I’ve always been the earliest morning riser at my house—I always get those few extra minutes (or hours) of complete tranquility by myself before the rest of the family stirs.

I love that I get to have this special time with my family—as we are all grown and going in different directions it makes me realize how rare times like these are and how much more precious that makes them.

I’m looking forward to reading KAFKA ON THE SHORE that my sweet neighbor lent me awhile back….

And my mom is positively elated that The Artist is still playing here. I’m looking forward to round 2.

Wherever you find yourself on this Monday, I hope that love and peace and hope reside in your heart.

Happy Monday, everyone!

“"maggie and millie and molly and may"

maggie and millie and molly and may
went down to the beach (to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,and

millie befriended a stranded star
who's rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and

may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea.”
