Rainbows do make us happy and so do beach days 😊 Today we woke up to a real show off of a day here in Cape Town. When the weather is playing along so nicely all you can really do is enjoy it and head outside to soak up some much needed Vitamin D. Yes, we need the rain blah blah blah. I get that, I’m just a summer person. I sort of go into hibernation during the winter months and dream about the warmer days to come.
The long days, the warm air, socializing with friends and that smell of sunscreen that lingers in the air everywhere that I go. I love it. I always have and I don’t care how much you try to convince me otherwise. Summer is the best the season.
I grew up close to the sea my entire life. At one stage I was determined to be a Marine Biologist one day. It was one of those ‘what do you want to be when you grow up things.’ I’ve always been drawn to the ocean. The sand and the salty air. The wind can be a pain sometimes but hey, it adds to the experience when it’s not a howling South Easter. It’s refreshing and rejuvenating. That’s what I love about beach days. I feel refreshed when I leave.
I don’t know if it’s because of the view, the therapeutic experience of watching the waves wash up along the sand or the freshness of the air. I’ve just always enjoyed how it draws me in. How it calms me somehow. You stand there, watch the waves roll in and roll out... its just soothing. Maybe it’s because of the consistency or the idea that things can be erased.
For now I’m just happy sitting or walking along the shore. Gazing out and wondering. Feeling at peace and enjoying every moment I get to enjoy a beach day.
Thank you for reading and remember to keep smiling 😊
