Who would have thought that I would find peace, rest and quiet just west of L.A. right in the middle of Rush Hour? That’s exactly what I found in this beautiful sunset in Santa Monica Beach in CA. I felt silly at first going out of my carefully-planned GPS route (more on my geographically-challenged self later), finding what seemed like a needle in a haystack for parking, and walking a few blocks just to go watch the sunset. Then, there it was. The breeze, the sound of the ocean, the water on my feet, seagulls, seeing other couples embrace the moment, and one of the most gorgeous sunsets I’ve ever seen!

I’ve recently read a quote saying, “The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time,” and on that day, it totally made sense.

Here is to happy time wasting!
