Weekend

Last weekend, while it was a bit rainy for most people in So Cal, I had no complaints. Yeah the surf wasn’t high, which was perfect for me! :-)

While most were hiding indoors I headed out. There weren’t that many people there, which is unheard of for Memorial Day weekend. It did warm up just a bit and I was able to dry off no problem.

The best part of my weekend was being there in the sand and relaxing after being in the water. The rest of the summer it is going to hard to find parking and weekdays are better to go out than weekends. I savored every minute of this last slow day at the beach.

As a child I used to wait forever (or so it seemed) for summer to come. Days of nothing to do and hours in the pool or ‘working hard’ on my tan, what could be better? When I got a bit older I used to take along a journal and write down poems in between napping and swimming. Sadly those journals are long gone; I have no idea where they are at or if they have been trashed. Not that it is a great loss to literary history; I can admit that some of it was really bad.

Even when it is cold and most people stay away from the beach I do down there to get away from everyone. One of the great things about living here, there is space if you really need it.

I know what I am doing this weekend and it never gets boring. In fact it has helped me remember what is really important to me. And like many others, it’s the ocean. How was your weekend? Mine, Fab …thanks.
