Vicarious Beach Vacation

“Last Night’s Sky” – Mary Lou Lewis

I think Mary Lou is coming home today, so this is probably the end of our vicarious vacation. What a glorious place to relax and unwind! Wasn’t it NICE of her to share these pictures with us?

My sister-in-law is still most deservedly enjoying a week at the beach. Some of her friends are leaving today, some tomorrow, but Mary Lou will come back on Saturday, I think.  She shared her sunrise with me, and I wanted to share it with you! :0)

May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.

Sending warmth (and power!) to my good friends in the Northeast United States.  I hope this is, indeed, the last gasp of winter and that you’ll be enjoying the spring in all its glory soon.

Cruise Envy

Mary Lou Lewis

I’m envying my sister-in-law and brother-in-law as they enjoy a week-long music cruise.

Although the weather isn’t the best, with gray skies and choppy seas, this looks really beautiful. I’m delighted she shared it with me.

I’ve never been on a cruise, and my husband really doesn’t like the idea of doing it.

My mother LOVED to cruise. It didn’t matter where the ship was going. She loved the cruise life. She liked dressing up for dinner. She loved figuring out what she wanted to do in the huge number of choices each day. She loved eating at the captain’s table. The food was wonderful. The views were excellent. She would have loved spending the rest of her life cruising – anywhere.

I loved the look on her face when she would tell me about her latest cruise. The light in her eyes. The huge smile. The wonderful memories.

I hope the music on THIS cruise is wonderful, and that the weather cooperates to make this a wonderful experien

The opportunity to learn something new is a quality of life thing.  Being open to new information keeps your brain active. Being aware of what’s happening around you allows you to appreciate being in the moment. Pushing yourself to try something outside your comfort zone is a challenge that keeps you more vital.  Trying new things opens up whole new worlds!
