As the daily challenges of Covid continue, it’s tempting to drive far away and spend hours on the beach where everything seems so much easier. The fresh air and bright sunshine make you forget the disruption of Covid.
The book, Life is Better at the Beach, found its way in my satchel on this past trip. My mom, an avid beach person, gave it to me many years ago. It includes 15 rules of the beach. Number 4, Look for Seashells, is one of my favorites because it never gets old. Looking for that perfect shell is one of the best ways to spend a day at the beach.
The challenge is how to adopt that same rule in a winter climate, but it can be done. For me, it is creating cozy areas inside the home, lighting candles, drinking hot tea, and reading a good book. It’s embracing the moment, finding joy in the little things, and remembering the moments.
