days like today

i absolutely love days like today. i try not to throw the word love around a lot just because i would like for it to be special when i'm expressing my feelings towards someone, but i truly mean it when i say that i love days like today. i spent my entire day at the beach. i took a nap, read some of a lovely book, walked along the beach collecting a few sea shells, took a swim in the refreshing water after eating some watermelon, drifted every which way on a blow up lizard enjoying the warmth of the sun, played for a bit with annebelle who was quite content laying in the shade, and had a lovely conversation with my beautiful and always kind dutch mom. now that i'm thinking about it, i may even love the feeling you get after being at the beach all day even more- coming home with sand just about everywhere, taking a nice cold shower, getting out and rubbing lotion all over your sun kissed (in my unfortunated case today it is sunburned) skin, and lounging around in wet hair and baggy clothes replaying the day in your head. like i said before,

i love days like today
