Weekend ... Mondays

So this weekend, hubby and I headed for the beach. We stayed at a wonderful B&B called "Ona Beach Bed and Breakfast." It was lovely and I definitely recommend it. The proprietors were an older couple who (from what I could gather) had taken the leap and followed their dream. They had a B&B in California and now live happily overlooking the ocean ... a different group of people welcomed into their home every weekend.

They were so happy and at peace with their life.

That's what I want. I pursue my dreams. I be happy and content ...

As we walked the streets in Nye Beach and Newport I looked at all of the people that live in this idyllic beach town ... so many of them small shop owners. Something truly at peace and happy in each of them. I know that I said this blog would be about jewelry ... for a year ... and I'm digressing to more of "life" ... but this weekend since I wasn't really making jewelry ... seems an appropriate topic to address.

I want their life ... a life where you do what you love and make enough to be happy ... not necessarily extravagantly.

We had such a great time there ... and at the beach in general. I know that vacation happiness doesn't count as real life happiness, but it's a glimpse.

I hope that my next steps take me in that direction ...
