August 2019 - Wondering Belle

I saw someone on twitter share that this song is a great one to play and sing along to. I found it and absolutely agree. So, I am sharing the video and the lyrics for you to enjoy too!

I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook or the ovation

It’s my world that I want to have a little pride in
My world and it’s not a place I have to hide in
Life’s not worth a damn till you can say
Hey world I am what I am

I am what I am
I don’t want praise
I don’t want pity
I bang my own drum

Some think it’s noise
I think it’s pretty
And so what if I love each feather and each spangle
Why not try and see things from a different angle

Your life is a sham till you can say
Hey world I am what I am
I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses

I deal my own deck
Sometimes the ace
Sometimes the deuces
It’s my life and there’s no return and no deposit

One life, so it’s time to open up your closet
Life’s not worth a damn till you can say
Hey world I am what I am

Angie got in her car and headed south. She wasn’t sure where she was going but knew she had to get away. It took her the better part of four hours to get there but once she reached the beach area of South Carolina she knew she had found what she was looking for.

She got out of her car slowly, stripped down to her bathing suit, walked down across the sand and stepped in the lukewarm water. Walking that way for a while just on the edge, she then stepped back up on the sand. Finding a secluded area where she was sure others were not around, she sat down. The sun felt so good on her face and body.

Taking a deep breath in, she sighed. Peace. The peace she needed and longed for. At least for now. She knew she had responsibilities and couldn’t stay long, but this is what she had been needing. To get away from everything and everyone and just breathe.

Staying until she watched the beautiful sun set and stars come out over the ocean. She then walked casually back to her car. Breathing in deeply as she went. Once back in her car, she sat there for a few minutes staring out over the sea before turning her car around and heading home.

I can’t tell you the amount of times I have wanted to do just this. To just get in my car and drive to the beach. To sit on the sand and listen to the waves of the ocean to bring me peace of mind. To still my thoughts and do nothing but listen and breathe.

Seeing this picture brought up those thoughts and feelings, so this story came out of it.
