Filled With Good

“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.” -Henry David Thoreau

Perfection

Sometimes it's nice to take a moment and realize how truly blessed we are to live here. Very few people are lucky enough to live inside a postcard.

New and Improved

The top photo is our Navarre Beach pier after Hurricane Ivan got finished with it. The bottom photo is our new pier under construction. It was originally slated to be finished this month. I don't know if it'll be ready on time or not, but it sure looks close. Rumors abound about an octagon at the end and even an artificial reef nearby for snorkeling and diving. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Whatever the rebuild brings us, the new pier is just another sign of much needed recovery.

Easter Blessings

It was such a beautiful weekend! We couldn't help but spend a few hours at the beach, capped off with a cocktail at Juana's Pagoda. Just another day in paradise. Lucky us.

The Gulf

It mesmerizes, calms, feeds, soothes, relieves, destroys, inspires, bewilders, lulls, transports, entertains and surrounds us.

Bird's Eye View

"Some folks see a birds eye view
Others haven't got a clue
Some will go and some will stay
It doesn't matter anyway
There's an island in the ocean
Where the people stay in motion
Somewhere on the old gulf stream
Do they live or did I dream
They were changing channels
Waitin' for their sails to fill
They'll be changing channels
Always will" -Jimmy Buffett

Showing Off

That horrible winter is finally behind us and the lazy hot days of Summer are approaching quickly. This time of year is that space in between when the world seems to awaken. It is now that the azaleas put on a fantastic show. Those green bushes that pretty much go unnoticed the rest of the year are suddenly flush with colorful blooms. They truly are a sight to behold. They have a short blossom period so take some time to walk or bike and enjoy one of nature's best performances.
