She loved the seashore because of the way it made her feel. As she became more mindful of her surroundings the stress and fatigue fell away. She relished in the rhythm of the waves, her tanned skin soaking in the sun's rays, the smell of coconut lotion, and the gentle breeze blowing through her flowing hair.

Here is where she came to get away from it all and to just be. No one needed her on the beach. She could think, or not, without interruption. She enjoyed the peacefulness that the shore offered her. She was free, if only for a few precious hours. She came away feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Life on the shore was simple.

Your post is quite complementary to mine on the prompt--except for the tanned skin since I don't do that well ;)
Makes me want to be with her...
The sea does have that effect on us.
Sounds like almost every young (and not so young) mother I know!
Smile ...
Lovely imagery!
My simple comment would be: evocative, almost tangible.
Marvelous. The other day, I was reading about relaxation techniques, and I chose lying on the beach when I was a kid as the peaceful place I would try to conjure up when life got too complicated. Your post takes me there.
I agree! And I will think about this post next time I go there (which is today :)

So much of my blog is an ode to the shore. This post speaks to my heart. For me, standing at the shore, puts everything in perspective.
Simply beautiful.
