My eyes are closed, my breaths are deep and they are taken away by the strong sea breeze blowing in my face. The breeze is cool off the southern cost this morning. The sun though, kisses my skin and keeps me warm. The dry part of the sandy beach is already warm against my body as I stretch across it with my face to the sky. As I lay here the crashing water against the beach, and the wind ,drowns out any other sounds. Nothing else can keep my attention, my surroundings are all enticing and will hold my thoughts still for the remainder of the morning and afternoon. This is my first day here, tomorrow, I may build a sand castle, and chase the seagulls.
It is a blessed day, when one doesn’t have to be woken up by an alarm. The best feeling is the one where you slowly stir out of the dream and gain awareness of the place where you are. Your eyes have not yet let in the first light of the day and you lay there taking in an awaken passé of breathing. The best feeling is knowing that you don’t have to get out of bed at a rush and you don’t have to rush to the bathroom or rush to take a shower or get dressed. The best part of a day off is when you’ve worked hard the two previous days, and therefore are even more grateful to go slow and take in a day of your own speed.
