Morning From A Southbound Train

I’m on a southbound train. Got up at 5:30 this morning. I feel so dead right now. You know when you are so tired that you are nauseated? That’s me right now, too many early mornings and late nights in a row. Didn’t get coffee this morning either. I would sleep but I always have a hard time sleeping in public transportation. It feels awkward to me. Haha. Maybe I am just ridiculous.

I can’t complain too much. I have gotten to check out the surf all along the coast for the whole morning. I can’t say that I have seen any good surf this morning. I think there were a few surfable areas though:) I have wanted to surf so badly these last few days.

I miss surfing. I used to be able to surf so much before school. Well, I had school then too, just not classes that I had to be at. It was all home classes then with no scheduled homework (at least last year), giving me a lot of free time to surf. Those were the days. I’ll make up for it though. I am going to start going more. Especially in the summer. Which- I have a goal set for, by the way. I hope I can reach it. I’ll have some help though:)

It’s so gorgeous right now! I can’t remember the technical name for them, but the flats next to the ocean are so amazing! The grass is long and a beautiful green. I saw two deer in one. In another, a little flock of birds flew out of a thicket, and I wondered what startled them? Most likely this train… it could have been something else. Or maybe they just decided they were bored of their current thicket and decided to move on to a better one. I felt kinda envious of them. They get to live in such a choice spot, over looking the ocean. It gives me a little reminder of God’s glory. He has created such wondrous things. Sometimes I forget to really appreciate them as I should. I just get caught up in whatever the day brings or has scheduled. It’s good to just sit and appreciate God’s handy work. Lol!

I love passing by the houses and seeing surfboards in the backyards. It makes me smile. The water isn’t visible anymore. Which, is why I am on here.

I can’t wait to go to sleep. Though I don’t know how early I’ll be able to. I never sleep well when I am down there. Speaking of sleep, I just watched a drowsy lady stumble down the stairway. She had been sleeping the whole time she was on the train. Don’t know why that was amusing, but it was.

You know, I realized that I love beach towns. I love their quirky one way streets, the clustered funky colored little beach houses, the surfers running with their boards down to the water, all the surf shops, contrary to how most people feel about the sand, I love it, not all beach towns have them, but I love the piers too. I would love to live on the beach and have access to surf every morning. It seems like such a quaint, simple lifestyle. I could care less about big expensive houses, big expensive cars, going to expensive places all the time, and having ALL the latest and greatest… give me surf and sand over that any day.
