“This Moment” is a ritual found on”Life inspired” by The Wee Man and Almost There by Sarah Jane. Which I confiscated from “Raising Amelie” by Alejandro.
I have to admit that I was not at the coast today. I was scanning my mother’s photos for her blog. I came across this photo. It is near Charleston, Oregon, close to where I was raised and this is a common memory for me. I spent the first 24 years of my life on the coast of Oregon and it is still my haven. A place where I find sanity.
Wow... what a rush or explosion of water.

Pretty!!! That's where I go to calm down too. The sound of waves is the most soothing thing in the world. :)

Hi, Jan! -- I grew up on the opposite coast in New England and this image is nostalgic for me, also. Now that I'm in MN I miss the ocean terribly! thank you for the glimpse ....
