Moments #3

"I planned for us to go for an overnight stay in Maine. Is that OK with you?" 

Ummmm.... "ABSOLUTELY! "

So many moments etched in my memory.

Beautiful. Simple. Connecting. Present. Powerful . Force. Expansion. Space. Nature. Comforting. Nourishing. Organic. New. Restorative. Energizing. Grounding. Meditative. Open. Light. Joyful Healing. Entertaining. Real. Change. Harmonious. Gratitude. Special. Flow.

Moments:

Finally arriving at our destination. The first breath of ocean air. A break in the rain, and a leisurely walk along the beach. Homes dotted along the shoreline. Picking out our favorites. The two most shabby get chosen. Weathered, but cute. Unmatching shingles and a front porch. Humble. Welcoming. Cozy. 

A girl walking her shaggy dog, pulling it from the waters edge. Losing her footing, and landing in the sand. Brushing it off, but slightly deflated. 

A chill in the air, a blonde haired boy with a tank top and shorts, running barefoot dodging the waves. Tagged by one he didn't see coming. Enjoying it all. Uninhibited. 

Climbing back in the truck in time for rain to return and the tide to move in. A handful of beach stones in warm browns and blacks for my collection back home.❤️

A drive through the tiny village of Kennebunkport.Hoards of people making the most of a rainy day outing. One available parking spot for a compact car only. Maybe next time.❤️

Up at 4 AM. Hustling to make two coffees to go. Pulling on sweatshirts and ball caps. The Robin singing in the rain. A short drive to the beach to catch the sunrise. Another optimist pulling up to park beside us. Waves crashing on the shore. A dense fog curtaining the sun.

Maybe next time. On to breakfast at a local cafe. Hot coffee in blue stoneware mugs. 

Alan Jackson singing "Remember When" in the background. Suspended in the moment.❤️

A slow crawl through winding village streets. Quaint homes blanketed in heavy fog. A light house up on an island to itself. My first. A massive gull, barely visible through the thick air, finishing off his catch for the day atop the dark oval rock. Pink and white flowers juxtaposing black rock, gray sea and air so thick you can wear. 

Beach wave hair.  ❤️ 

Be well....

xoxo
