I needed some nature. It was calling me. I had not choice but to take up the call. 
I felt worn down and a little bit broken. I needed her to restore me. 

I called my neighbour and asked if she wanted to go to the beach. I needed it. She needed it. We both needed some revival. 

"Gimme ten minutes to grab the cooler box and I'll be there". It didn't take much convincing because we needed out.

It was a beautiful day. Sunny and warm but not as windy as yesterday. 

We sat on the beach for hours. Just looking out at the water. It was mesmerizing. 

So much sun and sand but our souls felt alive. We talked of a philosophical  nature and we bonded while we walked down to the water's edge and splashed in the waves, the refreshment keeping us going. 

It wasn't long before we got tired and wanted to head home. We had met so many people (and their dogs) on the beach. We had talked about life and love, we had talked about what it means to make your mark on life and society these days. We spoke of lighthearted thing and deep things. It was exactly what I needed to face forward and know that the direction I take is my own to choose. 

After many hours we finally packed up and said goodbye to the beach. It had been a lovely, wholesome and hearty day there but now it was time for sleep and dreams. I left there feeling light of heart and soul. Speaking my version of how I see life felt good, it felt well deserved and even though things aren't entirely perfect, today at the beach, it was as close as it comes.

I must say that this beach is very well looked after by the locals and litter is hardly ever visible here. The law enforcement is also often around issuing fines so nobody dare do it. A beautiful place, well loved by the people that call it home.

When nature and friends were one call a way. I loved that, it so feels special for my perspective thinking I was you and my friend and the beach available anytime I need one. 🥹

I must say I have been very fortunate, when I move I won't be right next to the sea anymore but I'll still make a plan to go there often. How far from the nearest beach are you?

I needed this too! I am already missing the beach and outside world. I've been sick and can't go outside. It's nice that you get some sunshine and playing at sandy beach.

The beach just has a way of putting life into perspective. I'm so sorry to read you've been ill, I really hope you start to feel better soon. Vit D from the sun helps loads with that kind of thing. Sending healing :)

I'm so glad you got some beach time to restore your soul! I thought I was dying last night, very heavy, like I had COVID, and I was so tired. I did a RAT but nothing. So I surfed for four hours, that fixed me ;)

The sea has a way of doing that. I found out a few days ago that the last time I was sick and half my hair fell out that I probably had Covid - apparently hair loss is a symptom. I'm glad you're feeling better now. 

Hmmm I do so love the sea, not that much a fan of crack sand though :/
