Last night we got some much needed rain and today we have a blustery wind. The flags are flying straight out and the sound is rough, the waves each crested with white foam. It is not what most people would say a good day at the beach should be but then most people aren’t me. This is a great day to read a book and just relax. I have the window shades open so that I can watch the trees bend with the wind and the clouds speed by allowing brief intervals of blue sun filled sky. Days like this invite people to relax, sit back and slow down.
