The other day I woke up with the feeling of my feet wanting to take me somewhere, so I drove my car until I figured it out. I was in a familiar place that I haven’t been to in a while, the way to the beach. It is only a 15 minute drive from where I live and yet everyday I choose to stay inside the confines of our home.
It was cold walking from where I was parked going to the beach area, but when my feet felt the sand nothing else seems to have mattered. My mind left all the worries behind and I started feeling lighter. I found a beautiful spot close to the shore. I sat quietly among the birds and I meditated. I played tag with the water every time it crashed on the shore. I took photographs to capture one breathtaking moment to another. I felt a strong connection between the heavens and the Earth. I am grounded.
Looking out to the sea from where I was sitting in what feels like love at first sight, I knew that nothing could be better than what I am experiencing and feeling in that moment.
I thank my feet and my heart for guiding me home, for the places we’ve been, and for the many places that we will go together.
I am grateful.
What are you grateful for?
The view from where I was parked.

I am grateful for becoming one with nature, as she helps me to forget everything else going on within my world…all the unimportant things that tend to distract us humans. There’s nothing like walking along a quiet beach, a lush forest trail, a quiet country road, or just being alone atop a mountain cliff looking down at sweeping green valleys. I know exactly what you mean in your first sentence. We must take the take to listen to our soul’s yearning to go somewhere to replenish its energy!
