This has been a wonderful week loving on my elderly parents, laughing with my siblings, and walking along the shore during this trip to my home town: East Meadow, NY. So grateful to take home some new memories… grateful for family, friends, and, this beautiful world…

A long time ago I decided to stop trying to understand why I love the southern shore of Long Island so much; particularly Jones Beach and Robert Moses. I simply enjoy the sense of peace, wonder and smallness that walking along these beautiful beaches bring to my soul. Add to that, the fond childhood and high school sweetheart memories, and I remain – always –  so glad to be back “home” along the shore…

This was taken at Jones Beach, NY, on a much more peaceful day than today. My mind and heart are turned back home. My family is safe, but I know that many are not. I hope that those who have suffered so much during this storm can find peace and safety.
