Sandcastles In the Sand

irkajavasdream You are even more beautiful than the adorable sand castle you made! What a wonderful day that you must have had. Thank you for sharing! Say hi to me at NiklAvila Facebook, or @irkajavasdream twitter or irkajavasdream.tumblr.com (last one is best if u can create or have an account. I love Tumblr with all of my heart. Not sure if u love saving images as much as I do, but it has saved my c drive soooo much, plus posts can be video, photo, text, or a link. ) I'm very homesick for the beach! I grew up in LA, then spent my youth in San Diego (twenties.) moved to Phoenix when I turned 30, and can't seem to get back quite yet due to $$$$ to move! It sucks that I can't really move yet, until my husband finishes his schooling at ASU's amazing, well respected and almost the very best school for Biomedical Engineering. Ugh I am so depressed literally, from living here. Looking at images like yours helps me remember how it feels at the beach, and I can instantly relax if I do a guided imagery, and sensations meditation, with the sound of waves crashing on rocks or sand. I am still so amazed that I can feel all 5 senses enjoying the ocean, by focusing on how I felt, smelled, saw, heard, warmth on my skin, wind in my hair, the feel of sand in my toes, water on my feet, the undercurrents when I swim, and standing in one place in that powerful undercurrent, how it leaves a deep footprint, drawing shapes in the sand, losing sand crabs,hearing seagulls and waves, seeing all sorts of wildlife, wave formations, the sunset over the ocean, the coves in La Jolla, hiding inside one at night at a private beach I'm not supposed to be at with my boy, wine, candles, and sushi, now I'm a vegetarian, so other treats, the wind from the waves, as they crash on the rocks creating mist that blows into me, making me feel as though I am being completely refreshed and reborn! The taste of the saltwater in the mist, the taste of smoking herbaceous and the feeling afterwards, and or wine, , my boys lips, and the warmth of his body. Or the solitude when alone, the seals the jellyfish, seagulls, and the idea of how small I am in the universe, the overwhelming realization that problematic life is all in my head, I feel that if I could be at the ocean, I could go back to this peace, perspective, and pleasure of being at the beach. Just as you look in this photo! Bella!
