Randy just looked at me and said, “Are you going to try to get a post up before you leave?”
Oh my gosh, I realized. It’s Friday. I sighed a heavy sigh, had an idea and said YES!
In an hour and a half my friend Michele is picking me up and we’re headed to Boca Grande for a long awaited, much needed beach day. I can’t remember the last time I was at the beach. I’ve written about it a lot here though. Read Groundhog Day at the Beach, A Tuba on the Beach, Spring Break on Boca Grande, and Perfect Peace for some of my previous beach musings.
Today I just want to FEEL the tranquility of the place I feel so connected to the best life on earth has to offer. I want to dig my toes in the sand and discharge all the negative ions that build up in my body. I want to feel the utter and total weightlessness of my physical being that comes with floating my high triglyceride count in warm salt water. Under the hot sun in the warm water, the troubles of the world, and the constantly present worry I carry for those I know and love who who are dealing with weighty problems of their own, just melt away for a while.
Later, gator. I’m outta here!
