On a bike ride with Sam down Ocean Blvd. last week, she remarks, "Mommy, you know, after spending this week at the beach, I've been inspired to write a story...about a girl who lives on the beach and is homeschooled and rides her bike everywhere, like to the store to get stuff, 'cuz they live in a small town close to everything..."
Man, I like this girl's thinking. One of my own big dreams is to live on a tropical beach, where I can swim, snorkel, boogie-board, surf, explore tide pools 365 days a year. Maybe earn a living as a freelance writer of some kind, or a teacher or even be a missionary, who knows. Learn a new language, a new culture... yes, it's good to have a dream. Even if I don't get there til I'm old and gray... I'll be a happy granny mermaid. Then I'll die & go to the happy mermaid section of heaven, where I'll dive with the angels & hang ten with Jesus!!! :-)
With that pleasant thought, I think I'll go to bed and try to continue this dream in my sleep. g'night!
