June 30th, 2020 - A Tuesday
The absurdity of the time we're living through can at times bring the morale down. As the truth of how the virus got out comes to light one can't help to realize the extent of how far someone/group of people will go to have power and control at whatever cost. Although those people in power claim to care for people, they really don't care at all. It is sad that something like this is happening in our beloved country.
So, when the morale is low, I hold on to God's truth and continue forward. I concentrate on the beauty around me, and I hold my head high. After dinner on this Tuesday afternoon, we headed out to the marina to breathe in the clean air and refocus.
It is so pretty to see the flowerpots displayed throughout. This area is always kept so neat and tidy.
It was almost a solitary walk. Only a few people were out which made it quite pleasant. We try to look for sea stars, jellyfish, and crabs whenever we're out by the water and near rocks. Sometimes we spot a few other times we see nothing.
Being out in nature (and if you're lucky to have the place to yourself), one can't help but to contemplate life. Every single time I'm out in the middle of a vastness of space I think about how great God is. His creativity is beyond amazing. And it's amazing how He knew humans would need nature to marvel at and to center us, not to mention how healing it all can be.
Gray clouds have never disappointed me. Thankful to have a clear healthy mind to truly see and enjoy the beauty of a cloudy sky. To some it may be scary, to others it may unpleasant but to those of us that truly enjoy a cloudy sky it is nothing short of beautiful. It makes me happy.
The tide was low so we walked down to the exposed "beach" and looked for sea life.
My son spotted a small crab. There were many in puddles near rocks.
There are those to whom place is unimportant,
but this place, where sea and fresh water meet, is important.
