The wind & waves bring beauty

The last few mornings at the beach have been cold and windy, the waves pounding the shore, leaving very little room to walk on the sand.

I told a friend on Wednesday morning, “Just wait. This is going to bring some great treasures to find soon enough!”

Today I went to the beach filled with expectation, believing I would find something beautiful.

It is right there.

Life is so beautiful.
