What is it about the ocean that renews the spirit?

We live near the ocean and it’s one of my favorite places to be. It’s refreshing, invigorating, peaceful, healing, recharging and completely fills my body with a sense of well being.

I was organizing my pictures and saw these pictures from our January beach day, a little over two weeks ago. Jeff always said that some of the most beautiful beach days were in January, in the middle of winter time. Now I believe him. The wind was chilly, but the sun was bright. We followed a creek inland just a little ways and found a magical spot- a huge rock warmed by the sun and sheltered from the wind. We curled up the three of us and watched the twinkling light on the water. We listened to the waves. We breathed in the pure air. 

I love outdoor adventures all times of year.

Taking the time to be present with those you love is such a gift. Memories like this warm my heart.

What are some of your favorite January memories?
