Water and the beauty that surrounds it

After living in many different locations in this massive country I call home, I found out that my heart loves the water.  I love the sounds of the waves crashing on the shore.  I love the way you can smell the ocean even before you see it.  I love the wind in my hair and the sand between my toes.  And while it makes no sense to 97% of my friends I strangely don't love being in the water.  Maybe it was something to do with my winters out East and in the Prairies, and the fact that somedays I wonder if I am still trying to warm up from them, but besides that extremely quirky little fact, I still relish my chance to be near the water every day of the year!
