Thoughts Uncorked Blog: "My only worry in the world....is the tide gonna reach my chair..."

I am having one of those days today, the kind where I feel overwhelmed and like nothing in the world could help me make sense out of anything in life more than the ocean. I know it sounds crazy and talking to a friend seems like it would be much more beneficial but talking to the ocean is like talking to God except for you can see Him....you talk, He listens, then He talks. If we can stop questioning what he says while he is talking we can hear Him and suddenly everything just seems to make sense...even if it doesn't right at that very moment, you know that at some point down the road it will.

It is amazing how something so large, loud, powerful....can be so calming, not cost a penny and not be judgmental.
I love nothing better in this world than to just sit on the sand, stare into the ocean and pray and think and listen....just ponder all of the millions of questions I have in my head - most of the time I seem to get answers for a lot of them and the ones I don't get answers to, I realize really are not as important as I thought they were on the drive over.

There are song lyrics, "I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean"...those words are so true we should never feel we are bigger or more powerful than the ocean but isn't it awesome how just by sitting near the ocean for a few you seem to be reminded that you can do great things....just when you are feeling overwhelmed, worthless, not good enough, you should give up, like there is no point in trying.....the clapping of the waves make you feel like their cheering is for you and remind you that there is hope and you do have what it takes....you are reminded of your worth.

The salty air, bundled up in a blanket, choosing the perfect spot of my choice, with a chair sculpted by God....just for me out of sand, the sound of waves rolling and crashing in...that is where I want to be right now...something about the ocean and all that surrounds it - makes you think about only the things you enjoy thinking about!

"For whatever we lose (like a you or a me),
It's always our self we find in the sea."
