Which Way the Wind Blows

Yesterday morning was cool and cloudy which made for a wonderful morning walk.

This morning was cool and sunny which made for a wonderful morning walk.

I really, really love walking on the beach in the morning.

For most of my life I always went to the beach in the hot sun of the afternoon, to hang out with friends, to party, to get tan. It's only been this last year that I realize that, except for one or two really awesome afternoons, I was doing it all wrong.

Being young I didn't care or believe that my skin would ever wrinkle. Sunblock? Hah! It always seemed stupid and unnecessary even though I always turned pink instead of brown & burned easily. It meant nothing to me, less than nothing. And now my skin is starting to wrinkle and I'm so far away from that careless young girl who made stupid choices sometimes and never thought about the future. I'm the result of that girl & I wish I could talk to her and give her a heads up, about life, about love, & about sunblock, even though she wouldn't listen or take it to heart.
