Charms Unlimited - The Seaside

I was reading Sparks' "Message in a Bottle" and it got me thinking yet again of the seaside and its plentiful charms. I have always adored the sea and one of the most difficult questions you can ask me is which one do I prefer -"The Sea or the Hills?" It’s like asking me to choose between black and blue. I love both the colours. Big time dilemma.

The sea pops in into my conversations in varied ways.

"Hey Debby, your ideal date would be?"
A walk by the seaside, on a moonlit night...

"Ma'am, what colour beads would you like on the neckline of the dress?"
Ocean blue.

Anyway, you get the picture.

I like the sea not only because of its texture or expanse. I like it also because it has a certain something that draws me towards itself. The sea is tireless, passionate and beautiful. With each wave that comes and hits the shore comes a fresh promise. The sea says that despite the millions of grits and stones that life may scatter on your path, a new day will wash them all. There is a sense of infinity and eternity to the sea and I think that is what makes it alluring.

Next year may bring me a holiday to the the seaside. I can't wait.
