A Day At The Beach

I was very blessed with the chance to get away this past weekend to spend some time with Lee. For the first time since I was 15, I got to go to the beach. Lee took me to a beautiful beach that's pictured above called Atlantic Beach. This particular beach is in eastern North Carolina. The weather was perfect. It wasn't too hot. It wasn't too cold. If you got a little too hot, you went into the water to cool down. When you got to cold, you got out of the water and laid out on the beach to improve your tan.

It was so wonderful being at the beach. The only bad thing that came out of that was my very very foolish mistake of taking my ipod down to the water with me the last time I stuck my feet in the water. I was being my creative little self.....listening to music and kinda dancing in the sand and waves. I must have made the wrong move and dropped my ipod into the ocean. I quickly scooped it back up and it was still working when I laid it out on my blanket to dry. Sadly, That was a short lived glimmer of hope. My ipod died sometime between Friday and this morning when I tried to use it on my flight back to Memphis. (If anyone has any idea of how to bring my ipod back to life, please let me know. I'd love to have it back to functioning again.)

I really need to have more days at the beach more often. I love the beach. It's so freeing and I felt at peace for the first time in a couple of months just standing there letting the water just rush over my feet when it felt like it and just soaking in all the beauty (and people watching) that I could while I remained nameless except to one person on that beach. It was wonderful. I really need to make an effort to go to the beach more often.
