I really do live in the most beautiful place

Taken at sunset from the east cliffs last night.

I went to a memorial service yesterday for a co-worker who died suddenly and unexpectedly last week.  I was awed by how many people came to the service - he impacted so many lives and so many people loved him.  If you use iTunes, he's touched your life, too.  He lived his life passionately, honestly, with courage and great attention to detail.  I feel lucky that my life path crossed his, and I am changed from knowing him.  I have learned, and can still learn, so much from his example.

I always seem to return to the ocean for grounding.  This ocean humbles me.

dona, i think we know we speak the same language when it comes to SC and the ocean. i am missing it deeply these days. and, your friend dying suddenly.....my condolensces to you and everyone who knew him. I am so sorry to hear this news. however, it sounds like you have many positive ways to honor him and the time you knew him. I am glad you are noticing all of those things. I miss you and wish to talk to you soon. P.S. I came to your blog because I was in such a bad mood today and your blog usually cheers me up. It certainly reminded me to stop and appreciate life today. love, nene
