I love the ocean. I love being near natural water bodies. For me, they do something to me. I'm relaxed and happy. It's where I go to be happy. In saying that, I only like to go alone.
I've never seen the appeal of the beach as a social outlet. It doesn't interest me being on the beach with a group of others. It takes away from the feel of the sand, the breeze, the sound of the waves and the coolness of the water. It's all so personal to me.
This morning if went for a swim before it got too busy. It is an experience. I felt rather tired and tight. Anxious would describe it best. I loosened up the longer I spent in the water. Jumping into the waves, floating and swimming around. It's majestic!
I usually walk in the water during sunset. The waves around my legs. These days I don't listen to music when at the beach. I used to put my headphones and listen to Jason Mraz. Sometimes I would dance along the beach and kick water up. I would leave with a smile on my face and feeling relaxed.
I love the beach 😊
