So I just got back from Gulf Shores, a place that I have frequented many times throughout my life, but this time was different. You see, I live very close to the beach, a little less than an hour, so going to the beach has always been pretty "normal" for me, so normal that I began to take it for granted. This past weekend I was at the beach, sitting on the condo porch reading a book, just gazing at the ocean and all I could think about was how much I wanted to be in Europe or Australia. I was talking to my mom and telling her I really wanted to take a trip and she said "How can you think about going on a trip when you are on one right now? Do you know how many people would love to be at the beach right now?" And she is so right! Anybody would love to be able to go to the beach on the weekends. I haven't appreciated it before, so now I'm going to.
The beaches here in Alabama are beautiful! They are so picturesque and scenic, its incredible. While I was there all I did was lay out, swim, eat, sleep, and read...what a relaxing vacation! I never have much time to read when I'm home, so I was so excited to get all that reading done. I finished 5 articles on ancient Egyptian medicine and I got to watch Singing in the Rain. It was a great weekend and next weekend I will definitely be back! |
