My company recently closed down for our annual vacation. Ahhhh, no work for 9 whole days! I spent the time relaxing at home, working on art projects and visiting with friends.

The highlight of my time off was a trip to the Jersey shore. We stayed right on the ocean.

There’s nothing like getting up in the morning and gazing out at the sea in all of its pearly morning beauty.

Going for a walk on the beach at days end, pink sunset colors reflected in the clouds and ocean foam. Listening to the gentle sound of the waves lapping at the shore. Being close to the beauty of the sea and her rhythms helped me connect once again with my inner self.

I returned home, rested and rejuvenated.
