Calling all Tuesdays with Morrie fans ... this one's for you. Except, you know, it's about two ladies named Joan who swap advice and wisdom with one another after having met on a beach one day. Baker EH, Milner AN, Campbell AD. A pilot study to promote walking among obese and overweight individuals: walking buses for adults. Public Health. 2015;129(6):822-824. doi:10.1016/j.puhe.2015.03.021 It’s impossible to walk on the beach without making an imprint in the sand and taking some of it with us. Life is very much the same. If we noticed this we might be more aware of our actions and words.” The beach has an uplifting power that no material thing or place could ever provide us. Hearing of other peoples’ beach experiences gives us perspective on our own lives. It gives us hope and inner peace knowing that there is a place where we can go to get rid of all our problems.

Follow the England Coast Path from Old Hartley south, keeping left to meet The Links road, then cross the causeway to St Mary’s Island and the lighthouse (which is technically in Tyne & Wear, though was historically part of Northumberland). There is no place more tranquil than the beach. Whether you are walking or sitting, playing in the waves, building sandcastles, watching the sunset, surfing, or simply staring far out over the magnificent ocean, there is a little something there for everyone. Murtagh EM, Murphy MH, Boone-Heinonen J. Walking: the first steps in cardiovascular disease prevention. Curr Opin Cardiol. 2010;25(5):490-496. doi:10.1097/HCO.0b013e32833ce972 There's one aspect where Debbie Macomber's books remind me of Jan Karon's. The people in the books deal with real life problems and consequences without all the graphic details having to be spelled out for the reader. Sean O’Malley is as charming as he is intriguing—a freelance photographer whose assignments take him to the ends of the earth. Soon Willa’s falling for him in a way that is both exciting and terrifying. But life has taught Willa to hedge her bets, and she wonders whether the potential heartache is worth the risk.

Joan Erikson was perhaps best known for her collaboration with her husband, Erik, a pioneering psychoanalyst and noted author. After Erik's death, she wrote several books extending their theory of the stages of life to reflect her understanding of aging as she neared ninety-five. But her wisdom was best taught through their friendship; as she sat with Anderson, weaving tapestries of their lives with brightly colored yarn while exploring the strength gathered from their accumulated experiences, Joan Erikson's lessons took shape on their small cardboard looms as well as in her friend's revitalized life. Shortly after arriving on Cape Cod to spend a year by herself, Joan Anderson's chance encounter with a wise, playful, and astonishing woman helped her usher in the transformations and self-discoveries that led to her ongoing renewal. First glimpsed as a slender figure on a fogged-in beach, Joan Erikson was not only a friend and confidante when one was most needed, but also a guide as Anderson stretched and grew into her unfinished self.

This leads on to litter on the whole, naturally. People love to have picnics on the beach and quite rightly so. Families spending the day enjoying the sunshine and the sea. A great day out. But there is a minority of them that leave their rubbish behind unfortunately. Advice from the ocean: Be shore of yourself.Come out of your shell.Take time to coast.Avoid peer pressure.Sea life’s beauty.Don’t get so tide down on work that you miss out on life’s beautiful waves.”

Turn right and walk the pavement into the pretty fishing settlement.

I read and walked for miles at night along the beach, writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly for someone wonderful who would step out of the darkness and change my life. It never crossed my mind that that person could be me.” It was stunning to ask the reader to care for this man. He who wasn't there for a MAJOR life changing, heartbreaking situation. He doesn’t change his behavior when he finds out what happens and leaves again when he is needed most? Why would anyone like that man? Why would we encourage any woman to tolerate that? Another spectacular piece of coastline, this three-mile walk follows the Northumberland Coast Path. Enjoy views of cream-washed cottages, coastal grasslands and magnificent views of the imposing Dunstanburgh Castle on the shore, plus the sweep of Embleton Bay as you walk north.

My life is like a stroll upon the beach, as near to the ocean’s edge as I can go.” Henry David Thoreau This is the third volume in a loose autobiographical trilogy about Anderson’s experiment with taking a break from her marriage and living alone in a Cape Cod cottage to figure out what she really wanted from the rest of her life. Specifically, this book is about the inspirational relationship she formed with Joan Erikson, who moved to the area in her eighties when her husband, the famous psychologist Erik Erikson, was admitted to a care home. Joanie was a thinker and author in her own right, publishing books on life’s stages, especially those of older age. She encouraged Anderson to have the confidence to write her own story, and to take up challenges like a trip to Peru and learning to weave on a loom. Joanie’s aphoristic advice is valuable, but there’s a fair bit of overlap between this book and A Year by the Sea, which I would recommend over this.

Quotes About Walking On The Beach Hot weather affects dogs in many ways so we must also keep an eye out for heatstroke. Hot Sand On Paws Yes, this is something that I shall be watching for ever more closely after a recent accident with Gladys. Around so much of our coastline the fishermen like to get out and spend their time, especially at high tide, fishing in the tide. In the old days people used to give salty water to a dog to make it vomit after eating a poison. What we know now is that you are just replacing one poison with another. The more salt a dog intakes the more the animal’s body takes water away from the blood etc to try and compensate, hence eventually the vomiting. Way more salt then tips the balance the wrong way and can be very dangerous. In The Sea
