Beach Messages
Written in sand on a cold day at the beach.
An instant later the wave washed it away.
The sand had changed but the message remained.
It is a simple greeting only meant for one person.
She will know it is for her the moment she sees this.
She will get the same goofy smile I had writing it.
We will giggle about it later like we are 14 years old.
I should be way too jaded for sand messages.
And yet I am not even close to that jaded.
I thought I was a while back and now I am not.
And that is why this picture amazes me.
It is not the fact that I took the picture,
it is the fact that I wrote this message.
It is about how much I have learned in the past few months.
It is about how good I feel in life right now.
And that is the message not written in the sand.
Life is good.
