Finding the Beach in the Mountains

DSCN0239

My Essential Ingredients for a great beach day:

1.  Warm Sun and Blue Skies – Check

2.  Comfy beach chair and a good book – Check

3.  The  wonderful smell of Coppertone sunblock wafting in the air – Check

4.  A cool drink – Check

5.  Awesome beach tunes, provided via Chesney – Check

6.  The feel of escape (finished piano lessons, and escaped to the outside) – Check

Only thing missing…my sweetie (at work) and the feel of the ocean.  But hey, that’s where a good imagination comes in!  🙂 I love these God-given 72 degree days snuck into the middle of winter!   Slainte, Lisa

Joy…Sea….Wonder

“For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)
it’s always ourselves we find in the sea.”
– e.e. Cummings

“My soul is full of longing
For the secret of the sea,
And the heart of the great ocean
Sends a thrilling pulse through me.”
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you. ”         – Psalm 139: 17-18

Rejoice in the wonder and joy of it all.  Blessings, Lisa

Escapist Therapy

Seeing how it’s Monday, and January, and cold (at least here), I think we all could use a little escapist therapy. 🙂 Study the three pictures below, and decide which one you would go to, right now, if you had a flying carpet. Cast your vote, and we’ll see which escape suits you guys best! Slainte, Lisa
