A Walk Along the Beach

As I was walking along the beach it was right after sunrise. Everything was quiet, peaceful. Hearing the water crash and feeling the sand underneath my toes was amazing.

It's by the beach where I can hear myself think. I can breathe and just feel alive. All by myself, alone just breathing in the cold crisp air. I feel alive.

I've realized that I'm at a point in my life where everything is exactly where I want it to be. It's perfect. And it's because I am at peace within myself.

It makes me wonder, often questioning. Why is all this happenning to me ? It's too good to be true. And then I realize, if I had not experienced the bad and dark moments in my life, had I not realize how it felt to hurt inside and cry tears that made my heart burst. How would I be able to appreciate the things I have in my life now ?

Now I listen to the waves crash and I can feel the tears rolling down my cheek. I'm not sad at all. I'm just happy to be in a place that is wonderful as this. To feel the wind in my hair to feel the sand underneath my toes. To breathe in the cool fresh air.

I have everything now. A wonderful husband, great family and friends. And it is this, this very moment that I need to forever remember when things aren't so great.

When things get tough and I'm sure there will be moments like that. I need to bring back the memory of me walking along the beach, crying happy tears. Feeling the wind in my hair, the sand underneath my toes and hearing the waves crash.

Feeling alive and feeling at peace.
