picture heavy beach

Gorgeous day yesterday, we took full advantage. We are truly a family of beach bums. Today is the very last day of Sander's work marathon, we greatly look forward to having our dad/husband/best friend back!

Let me leave you with this quote that impressed me yesterday:

“Many films diminish us. They cheapen us, masturbate our senses, hammer us with shabby thrills, diminish the value of life. Some few films evoke the wonderment of life’s experience, and those I consider a form of prayer. Not prayer “to” anyone or anything, but prayer “about” everyone and everything. I believe prayer that makes requests is pointless. What will be, will be. But I value the kind of prayer when you stand at the edge of the sea, or beneath a tree, or smell a flower, or love someone, or do a good thing. Those prayers validate existence and snatch it away from meaningless routine.”
