You tell yourself, “I could do this forever.” It’s not true. 

Magnificent wave after magnificent wave kissing golden grains of crystal sand under sun drenched blue horizons gets old after 7 weeks on a beach in Bali.

I remember the moment I realized I had had enough…

My daughter was 5 months old when we arrived and the beach was a 5 minutes walk from the villa and when we got close enough where she could either  hear or smell the ocean, I was never sure which, she would begin to shake and jump around in my arms with excitement and anticipation of that magnificent Indian Ocean. 

I hope everyone gets the opportunity to spend long enough at the beach to the point where you can say, “That’s it! I’ve had enough… I’m satisfied. ”
