Sand in my shoes....

I will admit....
I am a beach bum...
maybe not it the "real world"...
but in my mind
I lounge on the beach,
reading,
snacking,
dozing,
watching,
listening,
smiling,
breathing.....
Yep,
that's just about it.
All I need is an umbrella
(too many years of life guarding)
sunscreen..
(ditto)
snacks..
Diet Coke...
a good book..
magazines...
big fluffy towels..
(several)
and company,
but only company that wants to
read,
snack,
lounge,
and brings
their
own
drinks....
I especially
love the late afternoon....
when the sun is moving off
past my right shoulder,
and the mothers are all
rounding up their children,
who are tired, sore, hungry,
and ready for a bath,
dinner and bed.
I no longer have the
weighty responsibilities of a young mother...
but I remember them fondly....
Think I'll open another DC,
and start that new magazine...
smiles....
