Find Joy where you are!

As I was sitting on a beach chair in the water on Sunday, I felt awesome! Being In warm water with the sun shining brightly in the sky is my happy place.
The beach was crowded, along  with the water offshore.
People of all ages were frolicking in the waves. I longed to be floating  on a tube out in the deep, but I'm not ready for that. At this moment, just sitting in the chair with the water splashing up my legs was a victory.

I watched families laughing together as they splashed in the waves.

There was a small boy that kept running near me to fill a blue pail with water. I'm sure he was building a sand castle. His sweet face warmed my heart. I gave him a smile each time he filled his pail. Soon I should be able to have a conversation with children. But for now I can smile.

Then God arranged a special blessing. Lifeguards on ATV'S  stopped a few yards from me and plunged into the water. There was a crane out In the water with a bad wing 
The lifeguards rescued it and carried it off so they could tend to its injury.
That is a rare moment to witness.
I'm hoping in a few weeks, I'll be out in the deeper water with my waterproof processor and my snorkeling gear, hearing life around me.
But for today, I found joy in what was given to me.
More Joy awaits when I'm ready.
I know you have dreams for the future. And you should always be reaching for more. But as you're reaching, don't miss out on the joy of your Now.
Be Blessed!
