My endorphins are triggered when I’m in this “Happy Place”
Posted By RichC on January 15, 2026
It is impossible to not smile when the sun is shining and the beach is calling me. Brenda and I are so thankful to have this time together and feeling free doing something we both love — walk the beach. Yes, I wish my foot was back to normal, but surprisingly walking on the beach with the ocean washing over my feet is still far better than wearing a pair of shoes or walking on hardwood floors or tile. I anxious to see how it goes, but “so far so good” (idiom from 1721, who knew)!
I’ve mentioned our beach umbrella before as being an improvement in our beach life. When it is hot and the sun is out, it is great … But … it is January and the sun is 
not only in the southern sky, but drifts quickly from an overhead shade to a sliver of shade (photo). We both laughed after realizing it was nearly useless in the afternoon in the winter.
That said, we are glad to have it even if it is probably not necessary in the winter with plenty of clouds and a little rain and wind. The sun feels pretty good when temps are in the 70s and the wind is from the north.
That said, we wouldn’t want to be any place else — Life is good. 😉
