Ocean Therapy for a Song

Hello, dear followers and visitors!

 Can you indulge me while I share a few more photos and thoughts of a recent stay at the beach?

One afternoon, while feeling bummed, stressed-out, and discouraged, it called for yet another walk along the beach.

To me, the ocean is healing. No matter how miserable I'm feeling, after a walk on the beach, something magical happens.

Maybe it's the soothing sound of the waves as they hit the shoreline.

Or the gentle cawing of seagulls swooping through the air.

Looking down at the sand that was seeping into my clogs, I spotted a shell and a stone.

Picking up both, it was delightful to see the inner part of the shell was pink, my favorite color. I slipped them into my camera bag. I wanted to remember where they came from when placing them somewhere in our home.

The stone was so smooth and perfectly formed. It took a lot of time and being tossed around in the ocean for that to happen.

Then, sitting on some rocks where our children used to go crabbing, so many years ago, this sweet flower caught my eye.  Of course, it was pink and the only one in bloom! The flower seemed to be a gift from on High.

 Its simple beauty immediately lifted my spirits.  I felt like God put that flower there just for me and that made me smile. 

Walking back to the beach house, peace filled my heart thanks to the ocean's therapy.
