Da Beach

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? – I bet a lot of people like this question from the daily prompt. I wonder what percentage of people live right now, where they want to live, if they had this choice.

I live right where I want to be at this moment in my life. To live further away from my children and grandchildren would be unacceptable for us.

I’ve always thought about living at the beach. Maybe Bethany Beach Delaware or Fenwick Island. Even though that desire is strong it’s not going to happen because I’m loving watching my grandchildren grow and being here if my children need help. Now once they are grown, and if I’m blessed with a long life, I might think strongly about that move but at that age it would probably be too disruptive.

So, like the couple below we will visit the beach often as possible and dream about a home there. But also smile on the way home because we get to hold and play with those little bundles of joy.
