The desk full of binders, calendars, sports schedules and dreamy ideas is where I currently find myself, while my mind continues to stray back to the mountains and clouds of our trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota. We have been home for a week and I decided in future, I must come home better mentally prepared for the onslaught of emails and to-do items that pile up when we go away for two whole weeks. The fact that school resumes one week from today only intensifies the pressure to get it all done right away. Usually at this point in August I am eager for cooler, less humid days hinting at the beauty of spicy Autumn flavors. Not this year. I am so invigorated by my return to normal movement following the long recovery from knee surgery that I don't want these summery days to end. At least not until they officially end on September 23, 2014. This year feels like a do-over, the last one so consumed by injury, pain and slow, slow, slow recovery. My mind is bursti
how absolutely soothing. What lovely photos! I'm a little envious of your peaceful walk.
ReplyDeleteLove the footprints and the path to the beach - a path to peace, to embracing the sacred ordinary, a journey into sanctuary! Blessings...

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I especially love the photos of your footprints in the sand next to the bird's footprints.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, as always!

Misty ~ wonderful 'walk on the beach' ~ excellent photography and best of all you look like you are having a wonderful time ~namaste, carol (A Creative Harbor)
ReplyDeleteMisty, these pics are so beautiful! I live on the east coast of Canada where many of our beaches are beautiful - but we only get to find such treasures a few months in the year. :-( Your photos made me all dreamy again for being barefoot in the sand. (The ocean is frozen in ice and snow right now)... still a few months to go. xoxo
ReplyDeleteps: that photo of you in the blue with the ocean in the background is so gorgeous...
ReplyDeleteI wish I was on that beach. Beautiful breath-taking pictures.
ReplyDeleteI grew up close to the Jersey shore and miss it every day. Thank you for sharing your walk on the beach. It was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you!! I'm from New England and have lived far from the sea for many many years. But I find it calling in my soul, from time to time, and I need to be filled up. This was a little snippet of joy and refreshment for my soul today. Thank you so much for posting it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I'm blessed to also live by the ocean. Are you on the east coast or west coast?
ReplyDeleteWow! So peaceful and beautiful. You captured the "mood" for sure! Came here from EE's blog.
