We rolled in yesterday evening, weary from the day's drive but ready for our much-anticipated stay at the beach. Neither of us, we realized, had actually checked the forecast before beginning . . . on my part, this was due to a desire to remain in a sort of a blissful ignorance. So during the drive, each time a radio announcer gave a weather report, I stubbornly repeated to Cassie my assertion that weatherpeople simply do not know what they're talking about: it seems that the sun is supposed to come out again the day after we leave. But befitting my stubborn denial, I donned my suit as the day's drizzle subsided, and I dashed into the waves in a hardheaded desire to be able to say that I did, in fact, get in the ocean while at the beach. Cassie documented my dash, capturing the rapid dip, and even more rapid race out of the water!

sand and "sun"

Oh Anna, I've been thinking of you and wanted to know how you are. How wonderful to have a little get away. What beach are you at? I have always found the words of the ocean so very healing.
Thanks, Linda--I appreciate you checking in :-) I've been near Savannah, celebrating grad school exam completion! And yes, you are so right about the healing nature of the ocean . . . I am listening for its words of wisdom . . .
