The Ocean

I spent Shabbos and Sunday morning in Lakewood, with my wonderful friend and her family. I hadn't been there in quite a while, so it was nice to retreat and take a break. Saturday night we went to the Jersey shore and walked on the boardwalk for a while. We then sat on the sand watched the waves roll in just a few feet in front of us. It was beautiful, and I was mesmerized by the water, the waves ambling in and out along the shore. I could have sat there all night watching the water, except it was really cold. But for the time that we did relax there, I felt my stress floating away, and I just enjoyed the breeze and calm.
