Relaxation for the Soul
What is it about the beach and ocean that gives our mind a rest and allows us to be renewed in spirit? The sound of the waves as they crest and crash upon the shore, the warmth of the sun on our face, the coolness of the wet, gritty sand upon our feet, the cry of the seagull over head, all of these things give our mind a chance to rest and a chance to slow down a bit and just be. I miss those long morning walks on the beach, and look forward to returning there soon. Howie also had a morning ritual at thebeach of riding on his bike along the shore. I think it did his spiriy good to be by himself, riding along the beach and just enjoying some relaxation for the soul.

Yes there is certainly something refreshing to be on the beach shores walking or riding. I once walked most of the entire one side of the beach in the Grand Caymen, it was an awesome and a refreshing experience. I also remember coming to Camp Lejune where your mother and dad lived and meeting them on the beach there..., that was an awesome and relaxing experience then too. I can think of many more beach experiencs also, all of which were so plesant. Your note just brought back all of these awesome memories and senses. I need to get away to a beach somewhere again soon. I love the picture of Howie on the bike on the beach..., Awesome!!!
Love you all,
