Spur of the Moment

The cool breeze had discouraged the normal crowds from gathering.

But, we have happily replaced our handy ice scrapers 

with emergency beach chairs.

So, last weekend, we enjoyed an impromptu picnic on the beach.

Each place that we have lived has provided special locations 

for spontaneous enjoyment.

Some of my favorite places had to be searched for 

before they could be treasured.

The trick is to take advantage of the opportunities 

and not take them for granted.

With a thankful heart, 

I’m remembering and savoring settings that I will always cherish.
