Word for the week: Thalassophile
Definition: someone who loves ocean and finds thrill, calm and peace being close to ocean, a lover of the sea.
It wasn't a good fit, as I needed to be by the sea.
When I told my husband's employer I needed to be near the ocean, he suggested I go see their lake nearby. He didn't understand. A man made lake in the middle of a cow pasture wasn't going to do it for me. Eventually I moved back to the west coast and can reach the seashore in one hour. That satisfied my need to be close enough to go at a moments notice.
Growing up I was always within one hour of the sea.
My young self loved going with friends to swim, walk, play, and nap on the warm sand.
I adored it then and I adore it now.
Is there somewhere that does that for you?
Is it the sea, the mountains, a lake?
Where does your hearts desire lead you?
I hope this week you can be in a place that satisfies your soul.
Happy week, dear friends!
