Gems in the Sand

Yesterday I took the day off and enjoyed some time with my family at the Mentor Headlands Dunes State Nature Preserve and Beach on Lake Erie, Ohio. Even on a Sunday I had a full day of work scheduled, but I decided to take my husband's offer and go with him and Savannah for a nice ride and to do some beach combing.

I really don't enjoy being in the water, or just laying on the beach. I enjoy about a two to three foot strip of sand right along the water's edge with the waves splashing on my ankles. This is my favorite place to be, right along the lake! I love finding the little sparkling treasures of sea glass, even the smallest of pieces make it into my collection. As I walk along I am always fascinated to see that each passing wave reveals something new, and when I see a sparkling gem in the sand I reach for it.

Equally amazing is just how fast the next wave can come along and take that treasure from you, just as fast as the last one revealed it. Such is life, when we are presented with an opportunity we need to reach out and grab it, or we may lose that chance and will never know what gem it could have revealed to us. Don't let life pass you by, reach out for those gems that present themselves to you. You may end up with a treasure!

Here is my inspiration and an example to my lesson above... Yesterday, August 19, 2009, it was announced that I was selected by Martha Stewart as her Doer of the Week!

Keep reaching for those gems, they hold a treasure!
