Back from the Mainland
January 5th, 2009. Filed under: Monday's Musings.I had a very nice visit on the mainland last week, but it’s always good to be back on the island. It was a busy week, as I’m sure it was for most of you. My heart always remains on the island when I’m away, but now I’m back physically. As always, when I return home after an extended time away, I have to walk around to reassure myself that I am indeed back where I belong. I’m spending a little time enjoying the sun, surf and sand before jumping into my annual new year’s clean sweep. Yes, islands need maintenance just like all other places. But such a pleasant place to be when the decluttering and cleaning urges hit. I can always unwind from the grungy duties by standing and gazing out my window at all the beauty with which I’ve been blessed. And at the end of the day, I can sit outside and enjoy the gentle breezes while watching the dolphins play near the beach. Or maybe take a dip and play in the water, too.
Stop by and visit my little island whenever you need a bit of distraction or tranquility. I will even let you do a little beach maintenance if you’d like.
