It's easy to take some things for granted when you're given an unlimited supply. For me, it's living in a Florida beach town. Every single day I see the ocean, on quiet nights or mornings, I can even hear the waves breaking on the shore. It's only about a five minute walk from my house to the beach, and usually you'll only share your space with a few people, at most.
And yet, I hardly take advantage of it. I guess I feel like it's always going to be there, so most of the time it goes unnoticed, unappreciated and unused.
Lately I've been trying to step back, and see everything without my unappreciative goggles. Trying really hard to lift the cloud of familiarity, and see the beach as if I was looking for the first time, every time I look.
And so far it's been working.
I am very grateful to be one of the lucky few who live every day, in paradise.

Yeah um can I come stay with you? That would be a sight I'd love to see every day
Your hometown looks gorgeous! I too live on the waterfront and I often forget how blessed I am to wake up to such beauty every morning.
