Lessons I Learned From An Afternoon At The Beach

(this post contains affiliate links)

We went to the beach the other day

Now, that doesn’t sound like such a big deal, does it?

Except that there was so much work to do here at home….

My Job

The Renovation

Projects

The Blog

The Six-Month Blogging Course I’m taking

Laundry to fold and floors to vacuum…


But we went to the beach

On a weekday



We loaded up the camper with food and games and gas

And we drove the 10 minutes to the beach



We parked right next to the ocean

It was a beautiful day

Sunny and warm



We watched the surfers

And the seagulls

And the dolphins

And we ate snacks

And played cards

And talked

And laughed

And ate store-bought roasted chicken and chips for dinner



And we enjoyed the sunset

And we enjoyed the food

And we enjoyed each other

And all that other stuff??

The Job…

And the Renovation…

And the Blog…

And the Projects…

And the Homework, Laundry and Floors…



It all waited for us to get back



And when we got back...

We were relaxed

And content

And renewed



So take a break every now and then

Get away from the laundry and the floors

Play some cards

Eat some chips and watch a sunset
