Taking the time out to enjoy the view.

I wanted to tell you about my magical night because I never want to forget it.  I was down by the bay in Fairhope, Alabama; right down from the Pier.  The second day in January of 2012 and the stars were twinkling in the night sky, the wind was blowing so passionately.  I walked up to the wharf and heard the water running onto the shore and the gushing sound it made when it rescinded.  I sat down and was consumed by everything that was happening around me; the wind was blowing vigorously on my face and I was wrapped tightly in my blanket.  I was in awe as the water danced around and roared as I dreamed of surfing (I've never surfed).  I just thought how magical.  How perfect!  I didn't want to leave.  It's so amazing to me that the most precious things are free and we don't stop to enjoy them as the gifts they truly are.
