No one told me to keep my mouth shut when I jumped into the ocean. That was awful. No one told me there was so much coral on the Gulf side I would cut my feet up when I jumped into it. My family always had a cottage on the beach of Lake Erie when I was young and I can still remember all the good times I hade there. Except for the time my mom threw me in and let the waves take me out when I was 5. Yes I learned how to swim because of it. to me I think the Oceans and the great lakes have a lot to offer. I wouldn't trade my experience for anything even when I was a runaway in 1979 in Key West. Best time ever. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04496626804060579692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-53261037625631746712013-01-18T18:04:54.769-08:002013-01-18T18:04:54.769-08:00No energy this week to test the strength of our st...No energy this week to test the strength of our stubbornness Indigene!

The eye is a little haunting, yet attractive.<br /><br />Looking at a situation from the other person's point of view; trying to argue his or her point - sounds like a good experiment. I've often tried to put myself in someone's shoes, wondering how they feel, but not to argue it out. Hmmm...<br /><br />Unlike Josh, I never tire of looking at the ocean. I've been at different parts of it from the dark water of NJ down to the greenish tint of FL, and even down to Puerto Rico. I've seen the Pacific, too. For me, I can't go wrong with water - love it! So, a great lake will work, too.<br /><br />Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180243708565855383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-55512898791411985422013-01-14T12:44:44.108-08:002013-01-14T12:44:44.108-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.josh pincus is cryinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09302062659860682118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-69590330412664813732013-01-14T12:43:46.412-08:002013-01-14T12:43:46.412-08:00I spent large portions of my summers as a child st...I spent large portions of my summers as a child staring at the ocean in Atlantic City, NJ.<br /><br />You ain't missing much.josh pincus is cryinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09302062659860682118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-50558691851597034932013-01-14T04:28:11.580-08:002013-01-14T04:28:11.580-08:00Linda, what a delightful drawing-painting, picture...Linda, what a delightful drawing-painting, picture of the school of fish!

I've lived near oceans (Pacific and Atlantic) and lake (Michigan) too, and though they each have their individual qualities, what they both evoke (for me) is that sense of 'little Me' vs something so much bigger, so much more mysterious.
