Gift From The Sea

I am more then half way through my month of writing each day. I am writing about where and who I get inspiration from. This week I am concentrating on my favorite authors and artists. One of my favorite books is Gift from the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindburgh. It is one of the only books I pick up from time to time to reread. And, in the different stages of my life it always strikes a chord. I always appreciated how she wrote about her need to be alone with the beach. And, I have felt like this, too. But, being alone, now, I have been lucky to share my beach time with different friends. And, starting the day like this, makes me feel less alone. I still can't believe this year is my introduction to seeing the sunrise. A couple of months has gone by since I saw the last one. And, I forgot how it recharges me. It makes me face the day with such an excitement, it is hard to explain. But, most of all I feel so blessed to have this year by the sea. This morning was a spectacular sunrise. Combined with the beauty and scent of flowers in full bloom, I am counting my blessings.
