Serenity

My walk on the beach yesterday evening was so relaxing. The ocean was gentle and calming, serene actually. No crashing breakers, no wild salt spray, just gently rolling waves, a few scurrying sanderlings, a gull feeding on a dead fish, and miles of calm, still water.

This morning I awoke to gray skies and light rain. It's the perfect day for curling up by the fire with a good book. Maybe I'll get to do that at lunchtime.
