A demonstration of the strength of the common people here and their creative skills to make work for themselves through marginal but honest activities.

Patience – What is it anyway?

Patience – What is it anyway?

“Patience is a virtue” What is a virtue? Do I have it or not? As I walked along the sand I began to notice things around me that demonstrated ”patience”.

Taking Time to Play

Taking Time to Play

How Does One Define Health?

This morning as I walked, I thought about how the fresh air and the serenity of the beach promote a feeling of being healthy. This prompted me to ask, What do I mean when I use the word healthy? How do I define Health? And What is the collective understanding of what health is in society?
