The open plains of South America, tying a hammock among the trees on the beach in Barbados or Grenada and just drifting off to sleep with the sounds of the ocean lapping at the edge of the sand



lovely picture .. thanks sweets for posting flowers


Now I am really misty eyed............it is upsetting sitting here in the UK ( grey,cloudy morning) knowing that out there somewhere, (in Barbados) where my niece lives the sun is shining and they are probably preparing to go to one of the secluded beaches for a bar-b-que ..............That is not fair !! :cry:


awwwwwwwww I'm sorry .. didn't mean to make you sad girlfriend.

I think I'm just waking up to the fact (after raising 5 kids) that it's time to make my longings reality .. even if only for short spurts of time.

Make sense?


Completely makes sense,I have raised two and just when I thought they were off my hands, round they come bringing with them bigger problems for me to solve. My son woke me up this morning ( 8am) with a text message, it said "Are you awake?".................. I was after hearing the constant beep of my mobile phone


And I'm not sayin I don't enjoy what joys/troubles they bring to life too .. they are a HUGE part of what makes my life LIFE .. but I think I'm at a turning of a chapter. Time for more drinking in what the entirety of life on this beautiful planet can be for too.

How about some more input on things your soul is crying out for and you can't put into place right now ..

any thoughts?


To be left alone for one whole week, no telephone, no internet, no one knocking at my door, no driving of the car............in fact I would love to be on an island for a week just so I could write without being disturbed

I love tropical islands for that very reason...they give you a sense of isolation...freedom from the real world...I have been to many and have not found one I didn't like!drinker drinker drinker



showoff :tongue: laugh

laugh laugh laugh
Actually that is really where my soul is...
although the mountains are nice here in the states...they are mostly in the colder climates where I have no desire to live.
But tropical islands offer everything my soul desires...mountains, beaches, warmth and seclusion.:heart: bigsmile

Oh, I so enjoy their company, they are very amusing and very supporting of me and I them,there has, however been a slight reversal of roles they now check up on me, my mobile is constantly beeping............ I get questions like " where are you, what time will you be home, have you eaten,is there anything you need in the shops, would you like me to come with you?" laugh laugh laugh and speak above my head about me as though I am not in the same room as them, a taste of things to come ? rofl rofl

OMG .. that's hysterical. My kids are so varied in ages I get both sides - still watching over some and being watched by others.

They all think I'll never grow up though, so I'm good to go on the 'take care of Mom' stage for now. ha ha ha

I was born/raised in Los Angeles and the beach/ocean was my second home. I moved back east and also saw the ocean (more rugged coast) regularly.

Now I live in landlocked Colorado. :cry:

I miss the ocean terribly. tears

The haunting pics of lighthouses beconing light to the open sea ..
the sounds of waves crashing on the rocks ..
seagulls circling ..
taste of salty air ..



I MISS THE OCEAN tears tears tears tears


If I don't get there soon I think I shall die ..frustrated frustrated frustrated

ok not die .. but I WANNA hear, see, taste the depth of the ocean sooooooooon. drool tears tongue2


To meet you in person....gigglesnort....
So hopefully that pull to the ocean brings ya to calif....hahahha





What do you hunger in the depth of your soul for and can't embrace from where you are in life right now?

and what about soaking in the sounds and scents of forests ..

the crunch of pine needles
the scent of pine trees and the noises all the little scurrying creatures make

the rush of wind in the branches
the sense of magnitude when looking out from a rocky cliff to thousands of acres of rock, trees, perhaps a river running thru ..

the solitude.

YUMMY love


but .. I HAVE mountains. I think I'll take my kids to Estes Park again this summer .. whoo hoo!

Indeed Fade...but the rain forrests has all that too and beautiful tropical birds with interesting and unique calls.
Waterfalls, crystal clear streams, high mountain peaks that gaze over the aqua blue sea .......ahhhhhhh my soul aches to go....
