feeling the cool breeze that tickles my face when I’m standing under the steamy water of the outside shower | finding bulbous grains of sand in my hair as I tie it up after a joyful plunge in the ocean | waking up to winking sunlight and the sound of children giggling | leaving my phone in my bedroom, unchecked all day | taking slow drives as the sun sets with the windows down | losing myself in the engrossing magic of a new book | feeling sweat bead on my skin as I sit in the sun | sliding under the water to cool off, my hair slicking back against my neck | running my fingers over shells covered in course sand, over moon jellyfish both springy and sticky | picking my footsteps carefully as I walk barefoot across gravel, graying boards that make walking paths, hot sand, slippery beach grass, smooth poolside concrete, and shag carpet
