Where There's Joy
Seeking and rekindling joy…one day at a time
Waves crash
In and out
In and out
Reminding me to breathe

Where There's Joy 
Beautiful and precise, and just enough. Thanks for the reminder. 🙂

The beach is a peaceful place to be these days. We talked about taking a road trip to visit the ocean, but it was a little cold.
The repetition and decision to leave out punctuation is powerful. I hope you use this poem to inspire writers in your world.

It was cold! Luckily, we are just a few miles away. We also loaded up on rocks to paint!

Oh what I wouldn’t give to be at the beach right now! And, yes, it is a very good reminder. That’s what I feel makes the beach so relaxing and calming. Enjoy.

I am noticing that “breathe” is becoming a common topic … even my principal included it in a text update. Your poem breathes, itself. I especially appreciate the affinity with the ocean … the continuity, and being a healing place. That photo – so beautiful – would love to be there breathing the salt air, myself.

A simple reminder to all of us! The air is probably a little cleaner with so many less people on the roads! Can’t wait to see the rocks! Hugs!!

Such truth in that poem. I feel so lucky to live by the ocean. I found myself driving there yesterday.
