Things Worth Knowing

by Laura McBride

Even if you’ve never consciously thought about it, everyone has a list of their favorite feelings. Like getting into bed after a long day, waking up rested–really rested. At the top of my list? Being close to the ocean. To hear it, to touch it, to smell it. Just like peace rolling in wave after wave. I took this photo of the Pacific Ocean a few weeks ago. The shimmering, dancing water as the sun was extinguishing itself. Never can get enough. I hope you find a little of that peace this weekend and find some time to read these things worth knowing from around the web.
