Giving Thanks Day 3 ~ The Beach

At the beach, life is different. Time doesn’t move hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the currents, plan by the tides, and follow the sun. -Anonymous

 ♥ Today, I am thankful and grateful for waking up at the beach. To see the sunrise cast it's sparkling rays over the ocean and sand, watch dolphins play, the sounds of waves crashing onto the shore, feeling the sand between my toes...to be there with my boys enjoying the moment, very thankful for every day I wake up and I'm alive....but even more so here at the beach, where the lifestyle is laid back, carefree, and serene. Knowing it is always changing, it is always beautiful and a sight to behold, even during a storm, when it is raging with waves relentlessly pounding the surf and the powerful waters that crush onto the shore...then after the storm the water is so calm, serene, and peaceful....Maybe that is what I love about the ocean so much, each day is different, it's ever changing. And just like the ocean and it's sunrise, you can never take it for granted, each sunrise is different, the water is unpredictable, that everything could be gone or taken from you in a wave, tomorrow isn't promised, you have no control over what happens, but if you are lucky enough you learn to surf or sail and find a way to ride out the storms of your life and the sun will rise up and the waters will be calm again, sometimes even more beautiful than before, and just like the ocean recedes after a storm, things are made clear, and you begin to focus on what really matters, what is really important and that becomes your sunrise at the beach in your life each and every day no matter where you wake up. ♥ For this I am thankful and truly blessed.
