Out at the beach with Val, Drea, and our dogs. Oh how I missed the view of an ocean. I can never get over how being able to walk on a beach, any time of the year, with a calm or stormy ocean and all in between, has become a part of the things I need to do. Nature is amazing everywhere, yet there is something about the way the ocean is never the same, that gives it that ability to become addictive to a psyche. I like my addiction.
