Life Lesson From the Sea

While walking the beach today, I learned a few lessons. I collect sea glass and old collectibles, that wash up on shore. I find it very relaxing and adventurous! It isn't always easy to find these treasures, it takes patience and an eye to spot out these beauties, that could be very small, or large. At times, I it can take me 30min to find one treasure. But, then there are times the perfect sea glass is right under my nose. My first lesson I realized today, is when I found a piece of sea glass, that wasn't fully formed into a good sea glass. I decided to throw it back in the ocean, for 2 reasons. One, I didn't want anyone to step on it, two, the Sea needed more time to shape the glass, to perfection. As I threw it into the ocean, I looked down, and right before my eyes, was the perfect sea glass! I learned at that moment, the truth and example of giving back. When you give back, you get back, tenfold. My second lesson I learned from that moment, sometimes, you don't have to actively seek out the right person, job, or friendship. Sometimes, it may be right in front of you; that it will come, when you are not looking for it. How wonderful it is to learn the importance of life's meaning, from nature!
