Pam's Daily Wave...

Hello and Welcome to the first Monday of 2022 😊

So, to anyone who was staying in any of the beachfront houses near our inn in Hatteras.... yes, I was that crazy women sitting on the beach this morning, being blown about and pelted with rain - and it was awesome!!!

I have to admit that when I checked my weather app at 5am this morning and saw the winds were to increase dramatically, and we were set to have heavy showers at the time I was planning to be on the beach to watch the sunrise - my initial thoughts were not "Oh goody....time to walk to the beach".

But, after having my first splendiferous coffee with JB, Bailey, Bodie and Pumpkin....it was off to my Atlantic. It was super dark as I strolled down the little road, and the closer I got the beach, the stronger the winds became. We were definitely in for a bit of a wild ride on the islands today, with predicted wind gusts up to 60mph.

The tide was super high, and I had to perch up a little higher on the shore than my usual spot, but the scene was nonetheless spectacular.

My Atlantic Ocean...

As I sat watching the birds soaring in the sky and the ocean being whipped up, contemplating whether I really was crazy to be out at this time in the morning, and in this weather....my mind turned to the request I had made in my last blog….I asked you to ponder a little on what “a life you’ll love” would look like? and I got to thinking...

Did I have "a life I love"?

• Have I Learned to Accept and Love Myself....the Authentic Me?

• Have I Learned to Accept and Love all the Wonderfulness that everyone else sees in Me?

• Have I Learned to understand What I want in My Life and Why? - Not what is expected of Me, or what others want of Me, but what I truly want and aspire to?

I’ve been working on the above for quite some time now, and it hasn’t always been easy, but over time I did notice that the more I learned about myself, the easier it got, the more I accomplished, the closer I got to my goal….and for the most part, I’ve reached that goal.

Now, do I have bumps in the road…..absolutely, I have several “bumps” that I’m working on right now – but I am choosing not to let them distract from the joy that I have, when I wake up in the morning, and know that I’m happier and more settled than I have ever been. That I live in an incredible location, in a wonderful century-old inn, with the man (and animals) that I love. That I’m super thankful for our awesome children, family, and friends, and .... of course, that I get to be close to my Atlantic Ocean😊

Definitely not this morning....🥰

So, my short answer is Yes, I do live a life I love....and just like me, it's a work in progress, which is one of the things that make life so unique, and so imperfectly beautiful.

Well...Did you have a go?

Are you already there? Almost there? Maybe have some work to do? A lot of work to do?

…….Or maybe, you’re just not sure where to begin….and that’s okay, you have already taken the first big step – You have begun to think what that may look like?

Remember, I also mentioned that it would take time and effort, that you would have to dig a little deeper, do the planning and the associated work, and commit to creating “a Life You’ll love”.

So, ask yourself, are you ready to try?

Can You (with a little help if needed) –

· Learn to Accept and Love Yourself....the Authentic You?

· Learn to Accept and Love all the Wonderfulness that everyone else sees in You?

· Learn to understand What You want in Your Life and Why? - Not what is expected of You, or what others want of You, but what You truly want and aspire to?

One of my goals this year, is to help others to be able to do the three things listed above....a rather grand goal you may think - But there's nothing wrong with setting a lofty goal if you intend to commit to it, which I am. Now, I'm off to start my new adventure....I'm thinking this will take some brainstorming first - hmmmmm time for more coffee 😉

Until Next Time...

Take care, Stay safe and.....be kind to yourself, you truly deserve it!

Love and Hugs,

Pam
