A day out at the beach
Can fill you with joy
And teach you that you need to make time for rest —
And space for play and imagination.
Even when stripped down to the bare bones,
We still have a rusty beauty.
At the end of the day,
It is enough simply to be,
And to be who we are.

That picture of the kids with their jackets on reminds me of Oregon beaches — they’d be right at home here . I love the serenity and natural beauty. Same with the ones here — the long flat sunbathing beaches (like in Florida) just don’t do it for me!
