But you know what? As much as it stung, I couldn't care less. Because I was at the beach.
If you know even the tiniest bit about me, you know I love the beach. Specifically beaches where the water is warm. (I have no time for cold water. None.) So as you can imagine, when my family arrived at Virginia Beach, I was home.
There's just something about beach towns that call my name. From the slower pace of things, the sound of the waves crashing and the general acceptance of flip-flops for everyday use, I'm able to just sit back and enjoy the moment. I guess that's why I like it so much. It reminds me to take things as they come and not worry about tomorrow. Matthew 6:25-34 comes to mind. Especially verse 34:
"Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."
So yeah the beach is a good place to learn to take things one day at a time. I already miss being there, but hopefully I can take that attitude with me back to Boston.
Here's some more fun pictures we took while I was there. Enjoy (with some great music)
