I went out yesterday and visited with my aunts and uncle who were visiting my mom. I rented them a beach condo before I went off for my surgery. They have played dominos which made Mama real happy. They have walked on the beach and just visited. My aunt said Mother had been like a "pig in mud." I think she should be sufficiently worn out today as they all leave.
Let me just say that yesterday was picture perfect. The water was calm and endless. A little cold for me, but lots were swimming.
Green flags were flying, so it was a great day for it.
I left them all and took my chair and just parked for an hour. I then took a walk. Did me so good.
I am wishing you all a day at the beach soon or at least a good day out in nature.
Sandy
Gorgeous beach photos! Glad you feel rejuvenated and restored! Enjoy your Friday.
ReplyDeleteA day at the beach heals both the soul and the body.Many happy returns of walking on the beach!
ReplyDeleteThanks Duta, wish you could join me.
DeleteIt looks really peaceful and restful!
ReplyDeleteIt is! Angela, I just got my parathyroid surgery. I am feeling so much better each day. Never knew your thyroid could cause so much trouble. Best of wishes to you.
DeleteI'm glad you are doing well after your surgery. I've kept you in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteYour beach pictures are great. We haven't time to run out to our beach right now, but we have started having breakfast out on the back porch (we've been having lunch out there for a month or so, too). That's our 'commune with nature' and like you, it does us a world of good.
Happy Mother's Day!
Thank you Barbara. I love my sisters in Christ because I really know they are praying as I do too. Breakfast on the porch does count as being in nature. Watching and listening to the birds is amazing.
DeleteNothing is more therapeutic than a walk on the beach. Have a wonderful Mother's Day, sweet Sandy!
ReplyDeleteAmen! I spent the day there yesterday with my daughter. Nothing in the world could have been a better Mother's Day present.
DeleteWonderful, wonderful photos, Sandy! Thanks for sharing them -- it is almost as good as a walk on the beach for me! Good for the soul indeed.
ReplyDeleteWe just got back from an overnight getaway in Stowe, VT. Mr. T had a work related event in northern VT and after attending that, we backtracked a bit to Stowe. The inn was so homey and the surroundings beautiful. There was a lovely recreational trail nearby. We both feel it was the most refreshing overnight we have EVER enjoyed. So thankful for God's provision.
Happy Mother's Day!
Getting away is so good for you. The times Jeff and I get away alone is so refreshing. Just being outside anywhere is good for the soul.
DeleteI will be in Florida for a week in less than a month. Allejuiah......my soul needs the refreshment of sand and sun. Chill time. Cannot wait!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt will refresh you. Even though I live here and on a bayou I still need to wander out to the beach. There is just a bit of magic out there.
DeleteI am sitting here waiting for my friend to arrive, our destination is the beach! We will walk the beach and relax enjoying each other's company since we do not see each other often. Oh, and we are taking along our knitting too!
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous here. Enjoy. I even went back this past Saturday for another day. It isn't so hot yet.
