The Mountains vs. the Beach. My boys and I have this discussion on an almost weekly basis. The boys maintain that the mountains are WAY better. (Because they are in Utah ) . I love the mountains. I like being up where it is cool and quite with nature is all around you. I also love going to the beach. I love to listen to the ocean and marvel out how huge and powerful it is. I love to dig my feet into the sand and feel the sun. I really couldn't tell you which one I like better. They are both amazing.
Last Thursday the boys and I were headed out to the beach with some friends. It is about an hour drive and the boys were quite, watching a movie in the back. I was looking at the beautiful scenery around me. Everything was green and flowering and the sky and clouds just went on forever. I thought about how beautiful the earth is no matter where you are. I started to think about our weekly discussion about which is better (really not so much the beach or mountains, but Florida vs Utah). I had such an overwhelming feeling of comfort flood over me. I knew that right now I am where I am supposed to be. And I love being in Florida. There is a certain comfort in knowing that you are where you are meant to be. It may not last forever. I do at some point want to live where there are mountains again. But I know that will happen when the time is right and time for us to be somewhere else that we are meant to be. For now, I am going to love the beach.

I love your new family picture! I agree with you about the beauty of the Earth. Ever been to the Appalachian Mountains?
Dido!
That is awesome that you can think of it that way. You have bloomed where you have been planted for the time being. What a beautiful positive way of looking at your situation.
Thank you for that Heather. I have felt the same way in different places that we have lived, and that peace makes the hard times so much easier to deal with. I needed that reminder
