I returned a few days ago from the ocean. While I was there, I made a list of things I love. Here it is.
(Salvo, NC)
In no particular order:
Swimming in the ocean.
Clear, blue ocean water.
Digging my toes in the sand.
Watching ghost crabs scuttle in and out of their little sandy homes.
The sound of the ocean waves outside my window.
Pure laughter from a child.
The scent of honeysuckle in the air.
Walking over the dunes to catch the first glimpse of the ocean.
An outdoor shower after a day at the beach.
Quaint, small bookstores with overflowing shelves.
An after-dinner walk to the corner ice-cream place.
Sunsets over the sound.
Cotton candy sunrise skies.
Sitting outside in the evening with a cool breeze and a glass of wine.
Bike riding instead of driving.
Watching my kids, who are 20 and 18, play in the ocean.
Morning bike rides to get an iced latte.
Leaving the beach and knowing I’ll be back in two weeks.
xoxo,
Jamie
