The surf rolls like thunder, crashes in the rocky cove. Our moments like waves come and go.

Faith + Gratitude = Peace + Hope
When I was young my dad would always say, "Crystal, you can choose your attitude." One day I chose to believe him.

This is a perfect picture of the Shakespeare quote you shared awhile back:
āCome what come may. Time and the hour runs through the roughest day.ā
The oceanās ebb and flow is a lot like life.
Good thoughts and beautiful pics are a great combo.
Thank you, Crystal! šā¤ļø

Thank you for sharing your adventure with photos, video and thoughts!!.. almost felt like being there.. āLife gives us brief moments with another, but sometimes in those brief moments we get memories that last a lifetime, So live that your memories will be part of your happiness.ā (Author Unknown)… š
Until we meet again..
May your day be touched

Brightened by a song

And warmed by the smiles
of people you love.

Beautiful, Crystal! Rejuvenating and utterly relaxing, though I’m not there (sigh). I only can imagine how it must allow your own soul some much-needed restoration.
Of all the souvenirs offered, this is the one you’ll cherish forever.
Speaking of forever, you provide two views of the infinite. In both cases, the jiggered, manmade version is limited, and is completely in awe of the natural (God’s own) version.

Now thereās a perspectiveāthe creation of infinity, restoration, and souvenirsāGod vs. man. So many things cannot be measured…
