I am craving the shore, again. I will probably go soon. A confession: I don't like the beach, when it is too crowded. I like to stroll the shore looking for treasure, running and jumping in the waves. A day just basking in the sun-isn't me. I grew up with the shore being busy and quiet. I love both, but their are times I just need the peace to wash over me, to be alone with my thoughts. It doesn't happen as much these days, so I am trying to find new ways to find the shore in my every day.

I don't know about the beaches up there, but you might want to wait a week until the crowds die down. I think half of our state takes off from work this week to go to the beach. Why? I have no idea...
When the house is quiet and the living room is dim and shadowy is when I relax and write the best.
Lovely post, lovely photos.
Music is always included in my quiet space. It comes sometimes in the form of the leaves playing in the wind, the oceans roar, the birds early in the morning, this is all music to my ears and envelops my quiet space.
Love your take on this, mi amiga
Thank you so much~
Susan-oooh, sounds cool and lovely~
A pen that works is the key :D
Thank you for sharing~
Sherry-Thank you! Yes, this is what I will have to do. Everywhere I have lived I have had a spot that was retreat. Here I struggle-maybe a sign to move! ;D
Mark-Me, too! I have many times and this is why I need a coffee IV to function, lol. Ah, love that-
Yolanda-I think I am learning, but it is tough. It is like being in the eye of a hurricane. I am happy you found your way~ It is a way to cope. ((hugs))
Alex-I love that~ I need new strings-I will get them next week. Yes, I agree-everyone wants to be on the beach around the 4th. I will wait! Thanks :D Do not go camping this week, unless you love crowds.
Started doing yoga three times a week so I can center myself often.
L.Diane-I was an only child for 6 1/2 yrs. I understand-I think most creative types are like this. I hope you are recharged :D
Mary-Yes, I love that word rejuvenate-it helps soothe our souls~ I hope you too are rejuvenated :D Thank you~
Hugs and chocolate,
Shelly
