I did feel SO blessed Melinda. It took me over three hours to get there though, from the time I left home and caught a train into the city and then another to the closest station to where my brother is building his own home.

He picked me up and gave me a tour of his home (in progress) ~ Which was GREAT. He then drove me to the 'beach hut' where I was to stay.

I always wanted to live by the ocean ~ I actually did once, for a year ~ A lifetime ago and another story. Whereever we live, can be magical ~ But yes, there's something about the sea that really calls to our spirit isn't there? Even though you live far away from the sea, I hope you have the chance to go there from time to time.
