Rest and Relaxation

September 26, 2017 by DoneWithReligion

This week I am taking a break. My wife and I are enjoying some rest and relaxation enjoying the beach.

There is something about the beach that we enjoy. I am sure if you live around the beach your vacation would be heading west and enjoying the mountains. Yet for us, coming from the mid-west we always enjoy taking a break and going to the east coast.

This time we are enjoying having a beach house to ourselves at Emerald Isle, NC. To us this is so soothing and relaxing sitting on the deck looking at the ocean. The sound of the waves are so comforting to us.

Getting up in  the morning and having coffee then a nice walk on the beach is so enjoyable.

Sitting outside watching the ocean sends us into a calm and relaxed state. We find ourselves thinking about the future, wondering what lies on the other side of the ocean, reminiscing about the past and looking forward to future plans of retirement and enjoying life with no routine and no schedule to follow.

I know not everyone enjoys the beach but for me and my wife this is so relaxing and comforting. We enjoy sitting together looking out over the ocean and just taking a break from life.

So for this week there is no new article, no new thoughts on christian life and getting along with others. It is just a time of rest and relaxation.

I think if it were possible we would stay right here. Yet we know like anything else, once it becomes your normal routine it loses the excitement. So for now we will enjoy the week we have away from normal life and enjoy it.

I will be back in a week or so with another article, but for now I am heading back out to the peace and relaxation of the ocean waves and the company of my lovely wife.

Until next time, be kind to one another.

    Thank you Carol. We went to Wilmington a few years ago and enjoyed lunch at a place there on the water front. Very relaxing.

    I am so happy for you and your wife. I can feel your peace and relaxation through your post. I live in Wilmington, NC and we have quite a few beaches. It’s amazing looking out over the ocean; looks like the ocean never ends and the waves never stop. No routine, no schedule. That’s where I am in life. Enjoy!

    My wife and I used to do something similar and I’ve been remembering those times of late. We would stay with her sister and take a 20 minute early morning ride down to the beach before sunup. We would go for a long walk on the beach with our little dogs and enjoy the peace of the ocean as the sun rose, often sitting and meditating for a long while, and then we would walk back and have a good hearty breakfast before heading back. It is a good memory.
