Go Ahead. Daydream!

Are you feeling a little stressed or anxious or overworked or bored these days? Why not head to the beach--if only in your daydreams?

The sea is always ready to offer her gifts to you in great abundance. Peace. Relaxation. Romance. Contemplation. Fun. Excitement. Escape. Whether you plan to vacation there this year, or already live at its edge, or simply find the thought of its serenity comforting, there are few experiences on earth that bring such gifts. Writers praise it; painters honor it; photographers capture it; and vacationers retreat to it; philosophers assign metaphors to it.

Does it really matter which beach? Florida, Hawaii, Bora Bora, Australia, Belize, Spain? The gifts are always there--anytime, anywhere. The possibilities are as endless as the fish that call it home. Marvel at the sunrise. Listen to the waves. Fly a kite. Be calmed by the slow steady surf. Be inspired by the raging, crashing waves against weather-worn rocks. Soak up the rays. Walk the white sands hand-in-hand. Lounge the day away watching palm trees blow in the breeze. Consider the meaning of life. Read a book. Sip an icy tropical drink. Search for seashells. Write a poem. Grab your surfboard. Put on your snorkeling gear. Crack open a coconut. Jump into a game of volleyball. Get in touch with the child in you. People watch. Build sandcastles with the kids. Splash someone. Bury your feet in the sand. Fall in love. Propose. Watch the birds soar above the waters. Order fresh shrimp or ceviche or lobster at a seafront caf. Contemplate the vastness of creation. Lose yourself. Find yourself. Ponder what's beyond the horizon. Watch the sun set. Dance under the night stars to the rhythm of the lapping waves. Become keenly aware of your breathing . . . and of your heart beating.

Wow! Are you ready to call your travel agent and pack your sunglasses and flip-flops?
