If you have been following me for awhile, then you know that I am a “water baby” and one of my favorite things in the world is ocean kayaking.
Some people do yoga, some meditate, some jog to find their center ~ to obtain balance in life. I find my center floating in my kayak in the middle of the ocean. I love everything about the water and being on it.
I love gliding through the harbor and looking at all the boats ~ wondering what destinations they have been to…
I love passing by lighthouses…
I love hearing the muted jazz music playing from the catamaran passing by…
I love hearing the faint adrenalin screams from people on the rides as I pass the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk…
I love listening to the seals bark under the pier…
I love watching the surfers catch waves…
I love knowing, that although I cannot always see them, that there is an entire aquatic community thriving beneath me…and I love when the otters and seals are playful and will allow me to float along with them…
I love the sound of splashing water and seagulls, I love the smell of the ocean, but most of all I love the silence. I love the quite peacefulness as I glide through the water and the connection I feel to something greater than myself. It’s a feeling of contentment that nothing else gives me.
And those are just a few of the reasons I love kayaking. Today was a good day!
What do you love to do that helps you find your center?
