Barefooting

I was feeling kind of blue because I hadn't been to the beach in about 3 days and even though I had gobs of things to do today I just HAD to go to the beach or go crazy. It was beautiful, calm and peaceful. Just what I needed.

Remembering a conversation with friend about how going barefooted outside connects you more closely with Mother Earth, I decided to shun the shoes and do some barefooting. The water was a chilly 60 something and bracing to say the least. Scream-producing at first, to be more honest. 

The day was complete after I found a sand dollar. Joy redux!
