My day is definitely like that today. I want to sit and dream. I want to squish my feet down into the sand again. (Good thing I repainted my toenails right after I took this, because boy, they sure were looking bad)
I want to walk down a long lonely stretch of beach at dawn, while the sky pinkens.
I want to sit on a porch rocking away the hours as I listen to the sound of the waves.
I want to take a ferry ride over to Ocracoke Island
and eat fresh fish on a picnic table under a brightly colored umbrella.
I want to shop for seashells from an old row boat.
I want my only conversation to be with a lonely little shorebird.
What I don't want to do is this To Do list. But as Mama always said. "Laura, it won't get done by itself."
SIGH!!! Mama's always right. How annoying is that.
I think your "I want list" is wonderful, I also think your mum was very wise,
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, these pics are dreamy! Is this from your last trip? I love it! I hope you can find some time to relax despite being very busy.
ReplyDeleteI so sympathize! But looking at your photos gave me a nice break--thanks!
ReplyDeleteForget the list, there's always tomorrow, sweet Laura!!
ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteI hear you! Your photos are beautiful.
I long for a day when I have nothing that needs to be done. With four kids (three of them foster), teaching Sunday school and all my pets the chances of that are slim to none. I say you ditch it all, go grab a shell and some tacos and sit on the beach contemplating life!
ReplyDeleteNo reason why you can't do it all in your mind when you have a few spare moments...the only problem with vacations is they end.

BEAUTIFUL photos! I especially love the sunrise and the rocking chair with those cute, comfy pillows. But, alas! The TO DO List is longer than most of my days.
ReplyDeleteGREAT photos- and I want to go with you-except for the lonely walk because that part wouldn't work out right!;>) At my house everyone thinks little elves come out and do all the work. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThis is the To Do list I'd like too, Laura. ;) Unfortunately, like your Momma said... it won't do itself.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your words of encouragement... I know you know all about change. blessings ~ tanna
A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.
ReplyDeleteA want to list is always more appealing than a to do list. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour mamma is right! But it's also so important sometimes to just enjoy the moment.
ReplyDeleteStay on the beach, Laura. Wiggle your toes and look out to the sea.
ReplyDeleteI am not getting your posts anymore..I just signed up for email delivery again and hoping it sticks! I've missed you!
