This is a picture of Florida snow. Well, it’s not actually SNOW and you’d get into a lot of trouble if you started shoveling it.
As a matter of fact, it gets quite warm even in the winter. This snow is found in the beaches of North Florida. It covers magnificent sand dunes and nurtures sea oats that gently bend their heads in the breeze.
Tomorrow, I’ll be frolicking in this Florida snow. And instead of frozen lakes to skate on, I’ll have the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico to slide through on a boogie board (if I dare!).
I’ll listen to the relaxing sound of waves breaking on the white sandy shores and watch dolphins leap in air.
This is my soul place.
This is where I go to recharge my life. It’s where I get to be a beach bum with no commitments and no responsibilities other than rest and relaxation – at least for a week.
I’m telling you this so you know I’ll be away from my post, just in case you come to visit.
In the meantime, I leave you with some interesting places I came across on my Internet travels. Both are GOOD places to visit during these hectic days.

I ran across an absolutely wonderful site that’s perfect for the holidays and gift giving. Actually, it’s good for any time of the year! I recommend you check it out. You won’t regret it.
Look around the site, there’s lots to see. Read the heart-warming stories of acts of kindness and check out the Smile Cards. These are really cool cards given in a form of pay-it-forward tag.
The idea is do something anonymously to make someone smile or feel good and then you leave the Smile card. The person you “tagged” is then encouraged to take the card and do the same to another person. Hopefully, more acts of kindness will follow with the each card you or someone else gives.
I think this is a wonderful site to remind us of the real meaning of the holiday season.
Learning Meditation: The Meditation Room
Given that the holidays also can be physically and mentally stressful, I’ve found a very interesting site entitled, Learning Meditation, which includes The Meditation Room.
When you go to the Meditation room you can chose among 17 brief meditations. You can listen to these gentle meditations while sitting at your desk or in a chair near your computer.
They range in time from a little over two minutes to ten minutes in length and cover a variety of topics. I’ve tried several including: Soothing Mediation, Peace and Serenity, Reducing Stress and Discover your Inner Guide. All were well done. They were clear and easy to follow with gentle, quiet music.
It’s a perfect place to visit when you’re feeling overwhelmed with holiday activities.
I hope you enjoy these sites.

It sounds like you will have a wonderfully, relaxing time during this crazy holiday season. Enjoy, we will miss you.
Hi Sara. We’ve just had a nice snowfall here in Vancouver. Any kind of snowfall here is the talk of the town. The temperatures are below normal too. Humph! Well, I hope you enjoy your stay in Florida

AAWWW — I would love to walk in the Florida snow –white, soft and warm on my feet — unlike the New England snow, need shoes for that! I’d love to hear the lapping waves and watch the dolphins…all very relaxing! Hope you enjoyed your time in the Florida snow! Keep in touch and Happy New Year!
@Naomi — Thanks for your comment and I did greatly enjoy my vacation. I imagine you are a bit cold right now from the weather says! Since I’ve never lived where there is lots of snow, I must admit there are times when I wouldn’t mind making a snow angel!
