What's Blowing with the Wind in Cape May?

It is crazy windy here in Cape May!  With all the complaining I hear at the bar, I shut down my negative meter because it is over the top. With all the women upset because their hair if getting messed up and the men complaining that their hats are blowing off....I am looking for the silver lining as usual. For me the wind brings words of wisdom and feelings of the beauty of nature.  I belong in that nature with the wind messing up my hair and tiny fish swimming through my legs. I definitely prefer a hands and feet playing in sand, kind of life!

Who Put the "D" in Dysfuntion

When I sit in a pubic place and work eight hours a day I inevitably get asked questions as to why I  am there. I simply explain I am writing about a relationship between a mother and daughter.  Everyone pipes in with a comment about their relationship with either their mother or daughter and how dysfunctional every relationship is to some degree. It's true. What we think is normal and okay is not to someone else. It may push the boundaries of normal to the point of abnormal and morally wrong but having never been taught that in their family, they do not understand your morals and values.

It's very difficult to let someone into your circle with such blatant differences but writing about it is a whole lot of fun!

While Biking in Cape May.....

Beautiful Harbor at Cape May

....I drove by the harbor and saw the most awe inspiring views!  I stopped my bike every few minutes to use my iphone to take pictures.  I felt immersed in nature with the thick grass blowing in the wind  and the waves gently slashing against the shore line.

There are many people who play at life without smelling, tasting, feeling and playing.  Do you remember the feeling of the wind in your hair the first time you felt it as a little child? Think back and try to visualize how wonderful that experience was. Be there....stay there...live there.
