I know I was only away for 36 hours, but I feel so full that it seems like days. My Thursday began with this marvelous sunrise ...
It was an easy and quick drive to Delaware. My first stop was at Serendipity Quilt Shop in Dagsboro. If you are a quilter and you go 'down the ocean', you have to stop there. It's a delight to visit there. I was only going to get some 505 basting spray, but some fabrics called my name. Then I headed up to visit with my friends Peg and Neil. Peg's in round two of chemo and I was so pleased to see how good she looks right now. Prayers always help with the healing. We gabbed and caught up on some TV and I sewed on two bindings. A great visit.Then I was torn between just visiting Assateague National Seashore or spending a night at Chincoteague. Well, the weather helped me decide. It was getting colder and very, very windy. But I needed to see the ocean in a natural state -- without buildings and clutter. So, I decided on Assateague. Just driving down the highway that leads to the parks felt joyful. These trees jumped out and called to be in something one day. Something about a path ...
For now, I'll settle on several photos. As I drove into the park, the critters appeared ...

When I got back in my car, I was surprised to find sand inside my socks. Way too windy for me, but not for some hardier souls in a tent yet.
I wasn't there very long and I didn't get to walk along the water's edge, but I felt blessed by nature, by the ocean, by its rawness, by the power of the wind. As I drove home, I was filled with gratitude for the whole visit. And I'll be back ...
What are you grateful for today? Make a list and give thanks.
Karen
