Summer Beach Days

Although I’ve been back at work for a couple of weeks now, we are still in the heat of the summer and I can’t help but reminisce about times experienced just weeks ago. In December & January I spent more time at the beach than usual, and found a lot of answers there. In typical Australian fashion, you’re in a pool or at the beach most days of the summer.

Someone said repeatedly to me the other day, “Seek God“, and I think the beach is the ideal place to do that. The beach is freeing, and connective with something so much greater than the day to day life we life. My emotions come out at the beach, they have a safe place to be released and heard. The ocean is so intense and mighty, but also has a flow and calm to it that I need more of in my life.

My flatmate Mel came along a few times and it was great. She has a very calm energy that doesn’t drain me at all. Most people do drain me in a way but I feel very comfortable around Mel, and we have a lot in common that complement each other.
