Chapter 8: The Beach
The beach was quiet in the morning.
I walked for hours with my shoes in my hand, the cold sand between my toes.
I bought a book at a small shop and read it on a bench with the sun on my face.
I had lunch at a café by the water and smiled at the waitress when she said I looked peaceful.
I was.
For the first time in years, there was no schedule.
No dinner to cook.
No grandchildren to entertain.
No one expecting me to be the strong, reliable one.
I sat on the beach and watched the waves.
I breathed in the salt air.
I felt the wind on my face and realized how long it had been since I had done something just for me.
The beach was not loud.
It was gentle.
May you like
It was healing.
And it was mine.
