After 3 months of changes, unpacking and plain ole chaos, time finally stood still for me. Well, for about 5 minutes since that seems to be my bodies limit for being still. But sometimes, those 5 minutes can bring such clarity.
My 5 minutes consisted of the ocean, a pouring rain storm and me floating on my back with my ears under the water all alone in that big ole Gulf. As my ears filled with salt water, clarity came that I had indeed survived all of the chaos that surrounds a move across the ocean with a 7 & 8 year old.
In addition to that 5 minutes, our days at Rosemary beach allowed our whole
family to freeze time a tad as we played together with a few friends, some crabs,
white sand, the Gulf and a lot of fresh ocean air. I am (slowly) learning that it is good to let time stand still before you pick the pace back up in life...otherwise you may get side cramps and who wants those?

And then the goodbyes.......
And the drive home.....
