Family and I (and a couple of extras) are heading for the beach. To do nothing at all. A quiet beach hopefully, one we haven't been to before. This year so many of us are having to plan our beach days around that dreaded oil. So sad, all of it.
And so, as I try to do each year around this time, I will leave you with a few posts including some photographs that are my own. And some words that are not.
These first words special, because they come from a man who delivered his most famous speech a couple of days before I was born. Special words from a man who 'was the change he wanted to see' in the world. I still cry when I read that speech.
"Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love."
{ martin luther king jr }
Oh may I always choose to stand on the side of love...
beautiful words Rebecca.... have a lovely time doing nothing enjoying natures beauty.

Have an absolutely wonderful time at the beach with your family! What a beautiful quote and photo. You have a gift of making something as simple as a few leaves a work of art.

How perfect...a trip to the beach to slowdown. we just went with friends and my girlfriend and i just sat for an hour watching sailboats go to and fro...it was beautiful, peaceful and restoring to our souls! Enjoy the well that is God's ocean...I know it will fill you up!

Beach blessings to you and yours and those extra's too! Yes, choosing love even when it isn't easy. Despite those darn feelings sometimes:)

So glad to hear you're heading to the beach! So many have cancelled their plans and this only adds another layer of pain to those whose livelihood depends on tourism. Beautiful quote...one to ponder upon until it sinks in, deep.

Lovely.... And have a great time at the beach. We're in Destin at the moment. On our way down, I thought of you when I saw roadstands advertising Georgia peaches.
