Living Life with a Beach Attitude

“Living Life with a Beach Attitude” is the motto for me. 

I love the beach, and I was lucky enough to live close to the ocean for a several years. Spending time at the ocean or lake can have a profound impact on one's well-being and overall perspective.

The watercolor painting "A day at the beach with Gloria" is a beautiful and evocative depiction of a day at Huntington Beach, California. The painting is done in a soft and muted palette, with washes of blue, green, and yellow creating a sense of light and airiness. Spending time by the beach with a dear friend can create lasting memories and a strong sense of camaraderie. Gloria thanks for that day! 

The beach has a unique way of fostering peace and tranquility, making it an ideal place to unwind and find inspiration. We get positive vibes when needed. At the same time the beach can be dangerous when the weather is bad, but the sun always comes back, the sand corrects itself and our beach attitude comes back. Fresh Air cleans the lungs, the breezes blow away concerns and help clear the mind. Walking in the sand is good for ones soul in addition to good exercise! The sun is great for vitamin D and happiness! Oh there is so much more, maybe I’ll go to the beach today and take in additional ways living Life with a Beach Attitude.

Here are some additional benefits of having a beach attitude:

A beach attitude often encapsulates a relaxed and carefree outlook on life. It embodies the essence of taking things in stride, appreciating the beauty of the natural world, and finding joy in simplicity. The beach often symbolizes a sense of freedom, peace, and a connection to the elements, which can inspire a laid-back, easygoing attitude in those who frequent its shores.

Embracing a beach attitude can involve cultivating a mindset that values balance, mindfulness, and a deep appreciation for the present moment. It encourages living life with a sense of adventure, openness, and a willingness to go with the flow.
