Heaven on Earth....

Ever have one of those days where you just feel the need to run away and hide from everything and everyone? Well since Wednesday, this is how I feel and I know I'm not alone in this. I will discuss this further when I am ready to speak words and form sentences because as of last night and this morning, my brain matter is still leaking out of my nostrils (mostly just my left one) from exploding over a massive amount of emails. I wish I could say they were work related or maybe even party planning emails but sadly, a family feud has taken place and discussing private family matters usually erupts best over emails. Sounds normal right?

Our walk to heaven on earth.

So since I am not mentally stable enough at the moment to discuss anything that's really going on, I would like to instead gab about the weekend so far. It's funny how after a rough night full of tears and yelling, you can wake up to the most gorgeous sunshine and warm winds. I may sound "god-crazy" but this only reassures me more in the fact that He is looking down on us and shining His love when we most need to feel it! I went to bed begging and praying for some sort of sign that we aren't alone in this fight (because I believe half of my family feels that we are together but alone if that makes sense?) I choose to believe that after waking up to sunshine and the nicest day so far this year, He is telling me that we aren't alone in anything because He is here and we are loved. Please let this be His sign?! And so with this heavenly day - what better place to be than the place I call Heaven on Earth -- The beach!!!! My handsome hubby and I spent a few hours relaxing and reading on the beach. No phones and obviously NO computers. Just magazines, beach towels and of course - my camera. It's exactly what we BOTH needed. With every incoming wave, I felt my fears and crazy thoughts of emails and harsh words wash out to sea...............................

Our amazing backyard (that's about 3 blocks away but still...SO CLOSE!!)

We didn't submerge ourselves because the Pacific is just SO chilly but we did run around and splash each other.

A favorite "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand... not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand.. life is good today. Life is good today."
My translation----I had my toes in the sand, ass on a blanket, all the worries in the world a magazine in my hand... life is good today. Life IS good today.

I was so worried Ice cream on the beach wouldn't happen in Cali. I was expecting like Tofu  or Melon carts but thank god.. Ice cream is still available on the West Coast.

Honestly - How hilarious is this? I read this on the beach in my magazine and couldn't stop laughing.

Walking on the Pier to get to the beach. Yes - this is just a bike full of parrots?!

"you must stay hydrated" - in parrot voice.

My hunny "needed" some fro-yo on the walk to the beach. He's too cute!!

So many activities on the beach.. this is just one of them. No wonder everyone is so fit out here. 

Life is good today - (even though I don't understand this life right now.)

As we walked back home over the bridge of the Pier. Pretty right?

This is outside the aquarium.
