  1. She sales sea shells down by the sea shore.... walking on the beach in the fall is my favorite time to look for treasures like this. I have 4 intact sand dollars and a sea sponge and hundreds of sea rocks.

  2. Hello, love the seashell. Grief, an injury to living. It seems true. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day and weekend!

  3. You know, there is a whole lot of truth to that observation. The older I get the more I realize that death is simply the end of life. People live, people die. Undue grief is misplaced - and I am not always certain it is sincere. If a young person dies prematurely it is sad, but when my 87 year old friend succumbs it is just the natural end to a good life. Nothing more, nothing less.

  4. Lovely shell and its picture. True too much grief brings not the dead, but loss is a loss.
