The sea. The place for …
Thoughts … To contemplate, ponder, focus.
Emptiness … To let go, exhale, relax.
Filling … To see, inhale, rejuvenate.
Cleansing … To wash clean within.
Forgiveness … You have been forgiven. Therefore, forgive.
Giving … Gratitude, glory, praise.
Receiving … Love, grace, mercy.
Quiet … Stillness, rest, knowing.
Noise … Breeze, waves, seagulls.
Laughter … Children, laughter. Families, laughter. Couples, laughter.
The sea.
The place for joy.
It brings out the best in all of us. ~ Alexandria Sage

Hugs from Ecuador,

/ September 9, 2013Kathy, so nice to hear from you! I’m so glad you appreciate the photos. I just returned from the beach and it was such an incredible time. Took those photos last week. Like I said, the sea brings out the best in all of us. Guess that’s why God provided so much on our earth. We love the shells, too. We have a nice jar for the prettiest ones. They’ve earned a spot above our kitchen cabinets. Enjoy Ecuador. Again, nice to hear from you!
