Thoughts on a Beach
Have you ever experienced a moment in life in which you realize you’re perfectly content and think, “Wow…Life is good.”?
I had one of those moments this past Sunday as I relaxed on the white sands of Kua Bay Beach, gazing past the clear blue waters to the horizon in the distance. I watched little children race to the water and quickly turn back in excitement and fear as the waves crashed before their feet. I listened to the rush of the swift tide as it crashed against the black rocks around the cove, all the while realizing one simple fact. I am truly happy.
Moments like that don’t happen a whole lot in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Not that we’re unhappy…it’s just hard to find the time to come to the conclusion. So I urge you, college students, high school students, family and friends…take some time this week to appreciate life. Whether you’re alone in solitude or basking in the hot sun on a sandy beach – put all of your troubles behind you and take a few minutes to be grateful for your life, because as Dave Matthews would say, “Life is short but sweet for certain.”
Until next time…Aloha!
