Got home late tonight after a long Monday - definitely a mixed blessing as I decided to walk the beach and unwind - just in time for a lovely sunset! The temperatures were in the low 70's with a very gentle breeze, the water was like velvet, and the sunset was gorgeously colored -like an artist's palette. The pelicans were enjoying the view, too! More importantly, it brought back the need for balance - it is so easy to forget the beauty of our world with the daily stress. Making a conscious effort to create stress-free times in the 24 hours given to us will help extend our life and provide more quality, as well! 3rd Ave S and Gulf of Mexico, Naples, FL
