Beach Dreams

[Mate Ugrin]

I have a few weeks before I officially move into my new spot.. and this is something that I need to find time to do.. even if it's by myself (which actually would be pretty pleasant).

I'm currently reading through Zeitoun by Dave Eggers.. a true story about a man enduring through Hurricane Katrina and the crisis thereafter.  I love it, and it's really getting me a sense of how New Orleans really was during that time.. which I know I will still help with the rebuilding.. especially that of their healthcare system.

..there's something really peaceful about reading this book on the beach, toes in the sand, and a mimosa in hand.  and of course Coops would come along as well.  I'm digging it.

Don't you wanna..

just head to the beach by yourself (and your handsome pup) and sit and relax with your feet in the sand?  Just chilling out and contemplating where your life is headed?  I feel like it's all happening so fast (and sometimes not fast enough).. it's eerie.  My friends and I are all headed in different directions, which is exactly what we're supposed to be doing.. but it's a little surreal.  I'm so proud of all of us for really doing the things in life that will get us to where we need to be in life.  RSJ is her own HR powerhouse in Asheville (which, ahem, is a temporary location missus!) and S$ is doing big things in NYC with social work at Columbia.  When did we get so.. adult?!  

But lately I've been having a strong pull towards heading down to the beach house after my last day of work (and after I've fully moved out of my apartment) and just.. being.  Does that make sense?  I swear I'm usually not this deep in my head (mainly because it's scary to me.. all those.. thoughts! ah! haha), but it'll be good to be a little introspective.

And with these images, I'm having even more of an urge to go as soon as I can.
