There’s nothing that a little summer vacation can’t cure. Being able to sit in your beach chair and listen to the rhythm of the surf puts you back in touch with the simple things in life that sometimes get pushed aside.
Taking strolls on the beach with your husband or playing Kadima or building a sandcastle reminds you of what’s truly important in your life.
I am blessed to spend time with these people, and their support means the world to me. Plus, they take a damn good photo.
