Fair Winds and Following Seas

 

I was feeling lonely and blue yesterday.  Downright depressed.  My husband is in Brazil.  Today is his 68th birthday today and our 15th wedding anniversary.  And, he has COVID.  So I drove to the ocean and took a walk, high up on the cliffs overlooking the rocky coast of Maine I love so much.  It is my home.  There were very few visitors on the beach.  Most were tanning or playing in the surf.  But not me.  I was walking and thinking and looking out at the expansive deep blue ocean, beyond the lighthouses that guard like a maritime melody.  I glanced down to mind my step and spotted a crimson-colored beach rose looking wild and free.  And then I heard the ladybug yelling at me.  Trust in fair winds and following seas.  Your husband will get where he needs to be.
