I can be so pliant.

All I need is a beach, a good book and now that I am older and wiser, an umbrella.

Yesterday, I did my laps, walked 5 miles and was dropped off at the beach at 10am and spent the next 6 hours reading, surrounded by the calm, sapphire colored ocean, soft white sand and a clear, azure sky.

It didn’t cost me a penny. Perfection can be had without a price tag.

I  didn’t even need sustenance I was so at peace.

I came home, styled my mom for a party and drove my husband to Carolina Herrera for some retail therapy.

This is living.
