Yesterday I drove to Cocoa Beach and on the way saw something I had not seen in two years.
I saw the ocean.
I barely saw it out the window, but it was there, calm and a deep blue.
For the past two years I have been too sick to drive long distances and even though the beach is only ten miles or so from where I live, it was too far. Now, I am just well enough to make that journey.
I don't even remember when it was that I last saw the ocean. But I'm sure I had no idea that it would be so long before I saw it again.
This morning frost covered my car for the second time in the past few days. The frost was more widespread this morning and I drove to church knowing that I wanted a picture of this frost. It's Florida, after all. Frost is not a constant like the ocean.
And I never know what tomorrow will bring.
