January 16th marks one year of unemployment. I have gone through all the stages. The anger, the depression, the frustration and whatever the hell else I’ve gone through. Today I tried acceptance and went to the beach. On a weekday. In January. It was amazing. Warm and quiet. So peaceful. I relaxed more than I have in years. AND, I think I got a little tan!
And because Bear got me one of those little video cameras for Xmas you get to go with me. For a short visit. And yes, I realize I am a terrible videographer. I need practice that’s all.

Ah, you got your guy to go, too! You wild & crazy kids.

Good for you!! I love California beaches in the winter..
I think you deserve midweek days at the beach :0)
Those dogs must not like sand the way they are so content to sit still on the blanket! LOL!

The beach in a bathing suit in Jan? Yes that IS so Cal isn’t it. Tides have to change at some point!! My connection was so so so slow it would not load your video though. 🙁

Let’s start a group of blogger beach babes. Not beach bums because, hell, we are babes. Let’s do it. Because life is good. No matter what the world slings at us, we can make it good.
God bless.

Definitely take some time to enjoy yourself. We are “enjoying” record cold and snow. I would love to go to the beach.

Great Video. The ocean is always a good way to help you relax and forget your troubles.
I hope 2010 is a good year for you. I have an award for you at my blog.

I thought for a moment you have forgotten the 1 year unemployment issue there. Lol, the beach looks so tempting and so are you girls. Just more practice for taking videos and you could be a pro! 🙂
