Variations

Yesterday was 60 degrees here in NJ.  What a nice late

December surprise.  It was the kind of day that the further

inland you were the warmer it was courtesy of a south wind

blowing at 20 mph or so.  Walking on the boardwalk or at

the beach was a cool challenge while walking a mile or so

inland where the wind velocity was broken was a spring like

pleasure.  What a variation.

Today brought bright sunshine, temperatures in the 40's and

a nice little south swell.  The break at the end of my street 

looked like Malibu with waist high peelers that went on

forever. The variation in the sandbars have made for this unusual

set-up.

The ocean, the waves, the beach, and the weather all vary.  Our moods

can vary as can our outlook on things.  Accepting variations rather

than fighting them can add pleasure to our lives.  Appreciating that

things aren't generally the same can be a calming thought because

that means change is inevitable.  Some changes will be great and changes

we welcome while others might not be so good.  It's good to know

that everything eventually varies, everything eventually changes.  Nothing

lasts forever.
