Today on the beach, I saw a man near my age walking toward the water. When he saw me, he abruptly changed course and headed toward me. "Is this the Pacific?" he asked with some urgency. "I just want to be sure. I've never seen it before." I explained that while the open ocean was found on the other side of the island, this was indeed saltwater of the Pacific. He beelined to the water's edge to touch (and, if he's like me, taste) the ocean. I wanted to ask where he was from, but instead left him to his bliss. 🌊☀ This short encounter sparked such gratitude for me! I'm grateful for the sun, the sea air, the blue of the Pacific, being able to live where I live, having a body well enough to walk to the beach and wander for hours. #gratitude #lifeisgood #oceanlove
I wish I could be there! However, I get to read the Kid Lit Exchange copy very soon and I’ve heard great things about your story. Can’t wait! – Susan

I wish, wish, wish I could be there! So many great things happening! (I’m betting Missing Mike will make just as big an impact as Macy has.)
