Hello Friends! Happy Tuesday! ♥
I want to send a BIG thank you to my friends who commented on my post about John not going to traditional college. Your kind words and comments made me feel like we aren't alone in this decision. It happens more than you think these days, but people rarely talk about. People automatically assume failure if someone doesn't have a college degree and that's just not the case.
Thank you for your support.
As parents we just want what's best for our kids and that's different for everyone.

Today was another beautiful fall day. It was sunny and blustery. Leaves were flying everywhere!
It's hard to believe that only 15 minutes down the road from our house is this beautiful beach, where it doesn't look like fall at all. On Sunday Rob and I took a walk down here. It's so nice during the off season. The crowds are gone and it's so peaceful.
I've been coming to this beach my entire life and I've never loved it more than I do now.
I find it's a perfect spot to escape to and embrace the quiet (especially when the world seems overly loud right now...)
I hate the heat in July & August. I hate the crowds. I hate finding parking (and paying through the nose for it!)
But in October there is none of that. It's cool and you can actually feel the ocean air going into your lungs when you take a deep breath in (I love that in January!).
There are people walking, all bundled up with coffees or hot chocolates, and there's always dogs which is nice too. Also, no crowds and plenty of parking : )
The ocean and sky were like glass on Sunday.
We walked and talked and then we came home and it was still fall 🍁
That's what I call the best of both worlds.
Have a cozy evening friends! xx
Such pretty pictures! I would love a beach day ! It is such a peaceful place. Enjoy your evening, I’m hoping my Yankees get a win tonight : )
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect day to me! I too, love the Ocean - especially in the cooler months! Absolutely love the sounds of the waves and seagulls! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteThat is the perfect beach scenario! No people, cool weather, hot coffee in hand...that's my kind of day at the beach :)
ReplyDeleteHello Danielle. Awww your beach pictures are beautiful! And you are so fortunate to live near the coast. I prefer the beach this time of year over the summer months. I even like it during winter. Breathe in some sea air for me next time! It's the best!
ReplyDeleteJohn is making a wise decision by not going to a traditional college. So many college-aged kids I know are doing the exact same thing. So many of them are learning a trade or going to a community college for two years. It makes so much sense to me. Have a cozy evening!
That beach looks so beautiful and peaceful! There is something about water that I think calms the soul and allows the heart and mind to just "be". And blessings to John and all he decides to pursue! Couldn't agree more that traditional college isn't for everyone and there are so many ways to learn in this life and become the people we're meant to be! 🙏🏻💗
