The Beach

As a kid, I never realized how much I enjoyed the beach. I took it for granted. My dad & uncles were really big into fishing and I remember them dragging me along to go fishing off of the shore late at night. It'd be pitch black out with the only sounds being our conversations and the waves crashing. You could smell the salt of the ocean in the air and the scent of the squid we'd use for bait. I remember it being so cold but waiting in anticipation for someone's line to pull made the night worth it. Those are good memories I have.

It wasn't until I moved away that I realized, I have a deep appreciation for the beach. My most favorite place to be is jogging along the sand and shore on an overcast day. The beach gives me a tranquility unrivaled to any other place.
