Imagination Sand

I find that during the first few minutes of every day - before the Sun begins to scorch the earth - I can walk outside, cup my hands around the sides of my eyes, block my peripheral vision, look down at the sand, and pretend I'm at the beach.

Good place to be....the beach.....Pop does the same thing when going through something he would rather not go through......"puts" himself in another place.....He had an angioplasty last week and everything is OK......so no worries! But I asked him how it was and he said OK...he was at the beach through the whole procedure....HAHA......

Know how much we love you and miss you......But we will see you soon. Will hug and kiss..... all that mushy stuff.....keep your chin up and your head down!.......XOXOXOX

pattydStryker Mom, here to thank you for you service, from the bottom of my heart.
I have a daughter deployed to Iraq and have all you fighters in my thoughts & prayers daily.
Be well, stay safe & remember how you are loved & appreciated.
I hesitate to wish you a "Happy 4th" considering all that you have to deal with just now but maybe you could think of how you are contributing to this holiday, keeping us safe, etc., etc.
I wish you fair winds . Please know that you have now become one of mine, along with the others. Having a name & a face bumps you up to the top of my list, along with my daughter !!
Warmly, Patricia in Virginia
