God bless the beach and the sun!





After a long, busy week I decided that it was about time that I spared a weekend for the beach, and so Saturday it was! :)
Laying on the sand, with the view of the blue sparking beach, sound of the waves hitting the shore, the bright sun against my skin and a soft breeze, the world and I were one. The content and peace of mind I felt for the 6 hours I spent there were so overwhelmingly satisfying that I couldn't have asked for more. This made me think of the pleasure I reside on, enabling me to experience such God given gifts and with much pleasure, that I decided to make the following prayer, a prayer so often forgotten:

God Bless:

- The beach and the sun:)

- the human mind,(which invented the car that got me there, the mp3 player :) allowing my music to accompany me and the service sector (the hotel) “driven by capitalism” for giving me value for my money.

- and, God Bless the fact that I was born healthy and complete.

"'Driven by capitalism'" ...oh, you :P

God or no, those are all things that everyone ought to be grateful for. I'm so glad you had a good time at the beach and I know you made the best of it. If I were to pray right now, I'd ask that you have the opportunity for many more days like these soon!

I might throw in a request that I could be there too but I wouldn't want to sound unreasonable :-/

Ahhhh... wish I was there to enjoy it with you. We're shivering here. Winter's coming.
