slow down, you’re moving too fast

May 31st, 2011 / Posted by fp julia / Permalink

this weekend was such a beautiful escape from the manic pace of daily life – everything moves slower at the beach, in the best way.  waking up with coffee and a good book on the porch, strolling on the beach with water lapping at your toes, the rays of sun creeping over your skin, cooking on the grill, watching the sun sink into the horizon…there is nothing better, in my mind.

 slow down, youre moving too fast

 slow down, youre moving too fast

 slow down, youre moving too fast

 slow down, youre moving too fast

 slow down, youre moving too fast

 slow down, youre moving too fast

 slow down, youre moving too fast

 slow down, youre moving too fast

 slow down, youre moving too fast

 slow down, youre moving too fast

 slow down, youre moving too fast

 slow down, youre moving too fast

 slow down, youre moving too fast

 slow down, youre moving too fast

 slow down, youre moving too fast

 slow down, youre moving too fast

 slow down, youre moving too fast

 slow down, youre moving too fast

 slow down, youre moving too fast

did you all have a nice weekend? where is your favorite place in the world?

    I totally feel the same way with this past weekend. I went down to Long Beach Island at the Jersey Shore. I spent all my summers growing up there and it has become such an escape. I jogged in the morning along the beach then spent some time just meditating on the cusp of the water, almost literally – soaking it all in. That’s my favorite!

    My favorite place to be is on a quiet stretch of beach, reading a book, listening to the waves and just chillaxing.

    The flowery meadow with oaks all around it where I’m gonna build a house some time in the future. And it’s in Sweden. =)
