Today has been exhausting and it's only 2 in the afternoon! Both boys are down with colds that are trying to get the better of them, (and I'm now convinced that's going to get the best of me as well!). Tears flow so easily and I am left feeling like I can do little to assist them in their discomforts. As yet another dreary winter day continues, I am finding myself in need of some encouragement today. The kind that lifts my spirit and helps put the bounce back in my step.
I need a "happy place" at this moment to temporarily carry me far from here. I envision myself digging my feet deep into soft, warm sand on the beach...
...as the gentle ocean breeze causes the wild sea grass to softly swish almost in rhythm with the soothing sound of the crashing waves. This is a tranquil place where I could spend hours...
Perhaps someday soon that will be reality. For now, I will listen to the crashing waves coming through the monitor from our baby's white noise machine. I am counting my blessings that for the moment, it appears both boys are resting.
As I am typing this, a VERY large helicopter just flew by overhead, causing every window in our house to vibrate. The crashing sound that I am now hearing is that of our 3 year old kicking the wall in his bed...so much for naps today.

A beach visit sounds wonderful. It's a tough season with cold weather and sicknesses and babies who get cranky when they are sick...looks like we should have chatted this last week as we were in similar worlds:)
