Gratitude

Here it is the day after Thanksgiving, a day when we reflect on what we are thankful for. This little blog has been all about being grateful but there is a video I want to share with you that says more in 6 minutes than I've been able to say in all the years I've been doing my blog. For this I am truly grateful.

Top 5?

I was talking to another beachgoer this morning and he commented that our rising sun with these particular clouds was probably in his top 5 of stunning sunrises. Well, maybe not top five for me but the combination of clouds, blue sky, rising sun and the waves all in a fresh 70º morning... well it was the recipe for a stunning sight. Wish I could import the gentle sea breeze, sound of waves, cry of gulls, but alas, you'll have to deal with the image alone. 

Uh oh and rainbow

What a day this has been. Just before I headed out the door this morning it started to rain. I postponed my beach walk accordingly. Later, after checking the radar, I set out feeling the rain would stay off shore. Alas, 'twas not to be. I was at the far end of my walk when this monster cloud decided to move onshore. Uh oh. 

I got drenched. Soaked through and through. But as my life has been... I may occasionally get rained on but there's bound to be a rainbow on the other side. And today there was... a fabulous rainbow. Joy!
