Restoration of self

This past weekend we went camping at the beach with a group of friends. I was half dreading it because it could have been disastrous. Two families were going for the first time camping, two other families it was only their second time, so I was expecting whining, grumpy people. But I was wrong. It was amazing! We had so much fun! No drama, great weather except for rain one night, great food, and to top it off, dolphins. After a dinner of steaks, rice, and salad we went for a walk on the beach. The moon was full, the sky pinkish blue as the sun set behind us, and the surf was crashing on the sandy shore. As if that wasn't enough, a pod of dolphins swam by close to shore. My soul has been fully restored, and we all pledged to go again together. Nothing like time in nature to recharge!

I wanted to share this fantastic link I found from a literary agent on twitter. It's a link on how to write a great story. Check it out here.

Hope you all had a great weekend too!

    1. It was sweet! We were at Myrtle Beach State Park. We spend at least one week a year camping at the beach. That's what we live and work for!
