Wind and waves, clouds and rain surrounded us for our first few day, but soon it gave way to misty mornings, and eventually sunshine. The house on the sea shore couldn’t be any closer, our neighbors, all two of them are uphill from us. Being here everything has slowed down and each moment can be fully appreciated. Twenty two years ago I lost my brother in a bicycle accident and learned perhaps the most important lesson of my life, that it must be lived to the fullest, that yesterday is gone and we only have today. From that moment I have yet to regret the direction Ive gone, the places Ive been, or the moments Ive lived. Im here today to fulfill that reality, and this place did just that.
