It wasn’t a Sunday, but it was too beautiful to resist. I called up my friend Lars and we made our plans to get down to the beach as soon as we could. He was still busy with a shoot, but did everything in his power to wrap it up quickly. I bought some snacks and a bottle of wine and we headed on down to Clifton. As soon as we got there we ran straight into the sea. It was late but we both needed the refreshment. I think I had only just recovered from my previous weekend’s lack of sleep. The bracing water was exactly what was needed.

And then we simply lay there and chatted. Well, chatted and drank and munched. It was exactly what makes me love this city. You can rush down to the beach after work on a Thursday on a hot, humid day, take a quick dip to wash the day away, and kuier and laugh with a good friend. Experiences like these make life memorable and keep me looking forward to more.

Thanks for sharing this with me, Lars. You’re a great friend.

My pondering: “Don’t let a beautiful moment pass you by. Put yourself directly in its path and bask in it as completely as you can.”
