Day 28 - Beach Snow

This morning, Vinny and I were going to the beach as we so often do and then running a couple of errands. When we got to the beach - it was covered with snow. Due to the fact that there was virtually no wind and it wasn’t crazy cold, we decided to get out and go for a beach stroll. There were others there walking about with pets and even someone surfing/paddleboarding. (It’s amazed me that the winter has not stopped the surfers around here!)

Anyhow, as I looked at the guy surfing, the birds flying around and the snow covered sandy beach, I couldn’t help but acknowledge the irony. I mentioned to Vinny how bizarre that was to me and how one would never think about the possibility of throwing snowballs at the ocean, just seems so backwards. How many times in life does one experience that?  Well, I for one now have. LOL

For my intention, I sunk my hands into the bitterly cold snow, packed a firm snowball and threw it in the ocean. I did it a couple of times and found myself just giggling away. After I was done and we were strolling along the beach, I found myself thinking how blessed I am to have discovered that by living with intention even if just for a moment out of my day, I am experiencing little things that I’m sure I never would have.

I don’t ever remember having any sort of snowball fight as young kids between Heather and I. I’m sure we both partook in snowball fights with others but I do not recall ever throwing one at her or her at me. We never would have done anything to each other that could have resulted in the other one possibly being hurt. But I will say, it would have been amazing to have her by my side this morning pelting snowballs into the ocean and giggling away.
