lasting forever.

its summer. which means burnt behinds and lazy days on the beaches.

which means rainbow umbrellas large enough for a small family. and days when it would be okay if they lasted forever.
summer water here is just cool enough for swimmin, but but too hot for it to be uncomfortable. i think the right word is "perfect".

today's finds of course include shells, but it was the first day i did not do anything productive. homework, housework. it was weird. i haven't done this in a really long time.
i feel lazy and perhaps a little bit guilty, but i did do a load of laundry.
it has yet to be folded.
its good, these times at the beach, these lazy summer days. they are needed periodically. i'll look back on them and wonder why i worried about anything. why i felt like the world was ending, all too often.

a saying rings through my ear, nothing ever lasts forever. things may be bad for right now, but nothing ever lasts forever.
however, if today's beach day could, i would be okay with it. i jumped in the crystal clear water and spread my arms and legs out and just floated. it was cool, breezy, and warm all at the same time. a moment passed and i thought.
you know what, i would be okay with drifting out to sea right now. forever.
