Take a break
Forget whatever you’re doing, whatever you are and whatever you’re hearing… bring your mind to this beach. Take the steps, feel the warm sand under your feet and look ahead at the ocean. Take a deep breath and let the ocean’s breeze take all of your worries away…
Today is a happy day!
Could you unwind, rest your mind and feel a little better? I hope you had a good time.
Seeing the ocean is so therapeutic for me… I go to the beach and I always get out of there feeling lighter and happier. I hope seeing this place helped you to feel the same way today.
Thank you for sharing this time with me and I wish you have a very healthy and Bright day!
Be good, be safe and we’ll talk some more tomorrow.

I love the ocean and just moved into a cottage on the Central Oregon Coast. My cottage is small, but it’s my piece of heaven on earth.
I always feel good after reading your blog.
