P365 - 2017 - Day 171 - two chairs looking out at the ocean
So I am about to make a cheesy analogy but bear with me.... life is like the ocean. The tides come in and go out, sometimes the sea is rough and other times it is calm and serene. You may find hidden treasures that wash up at your feet and you can send your own wishes and dreams out with the waves. Hallmark may not be banging down my door to acquire this bit is beachy wisdom, but it is what I was thinking about as I soaked in this moment. Just like the tides, it seems that we have returned once again to days spent with two chairs on the sand. For so many years, we have schlepped and carried all of the accoutrements that go along with three children at the beach. We have adjusted our days based on naps and lunches, played in the sand and water, packed snacks, stood nervously at the water's edge, and watched as our three children grew up in front of our eyes. On this first day that I was able to get to the beach this summer, our three children were in three directions, on different beaches with friends and once again it was just me and My Wonderful Husband. Just two chairs looking out at the ocean.
