beach time

i think the world health organization got it right when in 1946, it defined health broadly as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

this weekend was a mini-dose of magic for my health. reading case law on the beach, toes in the sand and sun on skin. riding ferries and bikes to dinner with m&d, eating good food with great people, and biking home as the sun went down. morning walks, complemented by a coffee and doughnut splurge. a long-overdue skype session with one college friend, and a lunch date with another. and a whirlwind visit with my guy, who always knows how to bring a smile to my face.
