Beach Treasures


We went to the beach yesterday, I felt quite a lone it appears that beaches wherever you live draws couples and families and I am just a different family now. My friend merrily talked to her husband calling him honey while my heart sank. We never went to the beach much at all I hated the heat but perhaps that was not a good enough reason. I walked alone as my children and their friends played. I stood looking at the waves and then turned there behind me was a woman we ended up talking she had actually lived in Europe and moved 18 times in 11 years. She talked how she did not have a favorite place as each was different. I mentioned I was now divorced and how I was contemplating my life she said she had to go and said she hoped I found treasures on the beach I looked and told her that I had found a treasure in her. She smiled I turned and looked at the beach and then I turned and there she was waving. My beach was not so lonely maybe I will never ever see her again, she says she walks there every day. But in my patchwork that day she was woven as a pure gold color that made me smile, maybe I was not so far away from home, she made me feel like I belonged in a world I felt very alone.
So maybe if you feel a lone along the beach you will find your treasure that will brighten your day I hope so.
Wishing you lots of Tasty English Delights.
Theres always room for one more.
