We flew from San Antonio, to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina,
and arrived at WYNDHAM OCEAN BLVD. on schedule. Our 14th floor, ocean front, room welcomed us at 11 p m. and we tucked in for the night.
We were greeted in the morning by an awesome Atlantic sunrise but temperatures in the 30s. It has remained cold and bundled up beach walks are the norm. Two popular places have become the chair in front of the windows and the firepit.
Not exactly what we were hoping for but nice none the less. Oh, there have been a couple of sunny days, but most have been chilly, overcast, foggy, and rainy.
In spite of the less than "perfect" weather, we have enjoyed the past 21 days and are looking forward to the next 28 days here.
REFLECTIONS
I looked down on a group of Pelicans flying below our 14th floor balcony. As they made their way effortlessly through the rainy sky I thought about how the inclement weather had put a damper on our time at the beach. Yet here they were providing me with a special moment.
They reminded me that even in the midst of my most miserable times, if I will keep my eyes open, there are unexpected beautiful moments just a glance away. Their appearance just off my balcony did not change the fact that it was still a foggy, drizzly, overcast day but it did, for a brief moment, give me a flash of excitement and the sense that things weren't as bad as I thought.
Remember that you will glide by many who just need a moment of hope and remember, in the trying times of your lives, to keep an eye out for the beauty in your fog.
