Islands, Shells and Sun

Last Saturday Darryl and I rented a Kayak and paddle out towards the island. It was farther than we thought. We didn't make it out to the island, but we did find a secluded beach where we swam and snorkeled and found pretty shells to add to our collection.
Yesterday Wednesday Oct. 28th, the Wind blew very hard and we had quite a dust storm. With all the dust in the air one could look straight into the sun as it set.
It made for a very picturesque view.
Sometimes I sit on the wall and see such beauty and wonder what I ever did in this life to deserve this?

Then the answer comes, it's not what I did or what I didn't do for that matter,

but I must learn to recognize my blessings and give thanks for them. So I will give thanks to the Lord.

You really should come down to see us soon.

Have a wonderful day!
