Herein are my Morning Musings and
It's about 7am and I'm planning to swim with a friend this morning around 8:30 before getting on with the day's errands & activities. Getting into the 'water exercise' habit seems like a good idea since the pool where 'S' lives is 5 minutes away and perfect for swimming laps.
1. I can't hear 'surf' this morning, but the ocean's scent washed over me when I opened the windows & doors a while ago. Living at the beach is a blessing I seldom take for granted, but mornings like this make me smile with recognition and gratitude first thing.
2. After having my sleep interrupted Saturday and Sunday night, I'm grateful the 'vacation renters' next door didn't party on the deck late into the evening last night. I feel rested this morning and glad I talked to them about the 'noise' issue.
3. I enjoyed catching up with friends at yesterday's Retired Gals Lunch. We visited longer than usual and it was about 2:30 when I headed out to run errands. Molly's DELIGHTED to have her favorite 'Duck & Sweet Potato' cookie treats from Natural Balance and a few new toys too. Maybe I'll take her to Dog Beach later to run free & play with fur-friends.
4. Hearing of Eunice Shriver's passing this morning, my heart goes out to her family & friends. Her presence on this earth will be missed by many but her contributions are many and her legacy endures.
5. This morning's email from Simple Truths contained a link to this brief inspirational video about the power of encouragement based on the book Even Eagles Need a Push by David McNally. If you have three & a half minutes, it's worth clicking the link to watch ... now or later. Perhaps you'll pass it along as I've done ... just because.

as you see I don't
stay within the lines
'linear' is challenging
I think in odd shapes
following my hand
where it leads to discover
what I do not know

I so thank you for linking to the video - by the time the end came I had goosebumps all over me. Really inspiring!
I love the kites in the collage below!

Oh I miss that smell, the ocean. Made me home-sick just reading it.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. You are so lucky to live near the ocean, must be beautiful, I have about a 3 hour drive to get to the ocean here!
Love your sky mosaic, very pretty!
I would love to hear the surf when I wake up in the morning.

Living by the ocean must be wonderful; the sound of the waves, the salt air, it sounds like heaven.
