Ocean

Last Sunday I was able to go down to the beach. I haven't been in so long. When asked which way I wanted to walk on the shore line, my answer was, straight. As into the ocean.

I couldn't wait for that first step into the water, the shock of it being so cold. There is nothing like it. It was in the afternoon when the temperature difference is bigger. In the early am it almost feels warm, since you are cold and so is the water.

I have always been a beach girl. When I lived with my father land locked for a summer, I was so blue. I could stand having the ocean be a whole state away. I still sunbathed like normal, and everyone thought I was crazy.

The ocean has been more of a close friend that I have to visit to keep up with. In the summer I get disturbed by all the visitors. I get spoiled in the winter when its just the surfers and hardly anyone else for miles. It gets to the norm to have miles of sand to look at in either direction. The sand is cold but still comforting and easy to mold into my shape. With my Ipod and something to read....bliss. My friend always agrees with me. So easy to get a long with, why wouldn't I go back every week? Its been too long and I promise to get back soon.
