I love the beach.  I look forward with great anticipation any opportunity that I have to come to the beach.  I am not sure why I find the beach so relaxing and peaceful, but for me it seems to be the only place where I can finally get to a point that I can relax and rest. We have all heard the saying,  “There is no rest for the weary.” – and at the other end of the spectrum, “Come to me all who are weary, I will give you rest.”  Why is rest so elusive?

I am sure that I have made plenty of foolish statements in my life.  Those who have worked beside me along the way can probably comment and share some of the silly things I may have said.  My husband often reminds me of probably the most foolish statement that I have ever made, “Sleep is highly overrated.”  The funny thing is that not only did I say it; I actually believed it to be true!
