A Little Sand and Sunshine to Brighten the Day – Marco Island

28 Comments/ 466/ 1

Who doesn’t love a few pictures of sunshine and sand to brighten up a day?

I know a good portion of the country is dealing with snow and cold and otherwise miserable weather.  It is not my intention to make those conditions seem worse but instead I want to encourage my readers with pictures of sun and warmer temperatures.  Those days will come soon enough to the areas of the country who are experiencing the deep freeze of winter .  Well maybe not the sand part but warmer temperatures.

If you are feeling a bit stuck in the cold and dreariness of winter take heart. It won’t last forever.

The weather at Marco Island, Florida during our extended stay has been a little bit flakey.  I think it is mirroring the weather in the rest of the country.  But I take it all and am just happy to be able to take it all in.

Fog and cold have been our visitors in Florida as well but honestly I was able to take it all in stride.  It meant that I was able to read more, finally get wedding pictures ordered, get some letters written and get some blog posts done.

These pictures will be reminders to me as well when the weather in North Carolina shifts to cold and rain that there are always brighter and sunnier days ahead.

If you are stuck in a cold and wintery state what do you do to deal with the winter that you find yourself living in?  Do you escape to the beach or do you love all that winter brings?  Tell me all about it in the comments and remember that each comment this month means a 5o cent donation to our Comments for a Cause recipient for the month Cooperative Christian Ministry.

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
