The beach was beautiful...

But why do we tend to wait until vacation to relax? I know this may seem like a dumb question, but I really wonder that about myself. This week was our anniversary week. It's been 3 years and counting married to my wonderful husband. We went to the beach for our celebration and had a wonderful time. The weather was great! Anyway, Friday we discovered a remote part of the beach with no hotels or beach houses on it. We decided to go there and sit on the beach for a while. We laid some beach towels out, and relaxed on the beach for 3 hours. This was the first time in what seemed like forever that I relaxed. I just enjoyed the scenery. The bright sun, the sound of the water, the quiet time with my husband, the birds, I just laid wondering how God created something so beautiful. I also wondered why I didn't take time to relax more often. It shouldn't have to be out of town, although it is easier to be away from home and people that you know. I would love to feel everyday what I felt on the beach last Friday. On Friday I decided to take more time to enjoy life and relax more. Life is too short to not enjoy at least part of it. Don't you think?
