A Favorite Place

A favorite place of mine is the seashore. I don't particularly have a preference which beach, any one will do regardless of how exotic or local the setting may be, I simply like the ocean. Being at the beach or in the ocean is extremely refreshing and renewing to me. The calming sound of the waves against the shore relaxes me and drains out much of my otherwise constant thoughts. I like the humble feeling that the ocean gives me. It makes me feel small and quite powerless compared to this huge force of nature surrounding me. Being in and at the ocean is kind of spiritual for me, I find it easiest for me to write on the beach and I also do a lot of reflecting there. But seriousness aside, the beach is also definately a place where I've had a ton of really fun summer days and late night walks home from Lagar Heads.
I currently live on Wrightsville Beach so I spend a lot of time at the beach and in the ocean. I walk out to the beach to see the ocean at least once a day so the last time I was there was this morning. It was pretty flat and not many people were in the water. I read a book and enjoyed the first day of sunshine we've had in about a week. Then I went for a quick swim before heading back home to get ready for today's classes. I consider myself very blessed to have the opportunity to experience the beach and the ocean on a daily basis, I try to take advantage of it and not take my living situation for granted.
