Great seeing you here. Wow, 12′ at OB? That’s a big day – and very cool. I think the tallest I ‘swam’ in was 10′ up at Tamarack. That blew my mind and I felt like I had been in a washing machine by the end of my swim.

You said a mouthful there, Dave, “extreme humility” is the absolute essence. And so important.

Take care!

I know what you mean about the comments here. I was surprised at the awesome things people had to say – and you know how much I love stories. I’m glad so many awesome people shared a story with us here. Isn’t it just sooo great!!??!!

Agreed on all your points! Titanic (shaka that), and Half Moon Bay is gorgeous!! And about Joy – YEAH!!

I’m glad we all found each other, too. It’s like we now have this massive life boat (or party barge, or adventure kayak!) to navigate life. Amazing!!

Take care!

I hear you roar, sister in arms. Ha ha ha, I totally *get* your beach snobbery. That’s too funny.

Hey, that sounds cool, a cruise! I’ve never been on one, and I’ve always wondered how they pan out. They sound fun! And, Hayden, I was laughing at the way you described it, “marinate”! Too funny!!! And sooo true!

Yeah, maybe I love San Diego so much because I’ve lived there longer (as an adult) than anywhere else. I have so many happy memories here. Like being here while I was really healthy and could do a lot that I can’t do now. It brings me joy and good vibrations.

I hope all is well with you! Drop me an email if you have time.

Love!

Bigger waves aren’t that much harder to catch, just a lot scarier!

Always with extreme humility.

Oh I love all of CA and Half Moon Bay, lucky you Patti, growing up there.

And yes Joy blows my mind with her adventures on a boat with kids. Love her blog!

Thanks for taking me out of myself today, Lori.
I’m a speck in a sea of blogging friends. It is amazing we all found each other…I’ve enjoyed reading the comments today;)

This year we are going on a cruise and I am looking forward to it like crazy. I am just going to BE in the water and float and marinate in the happy.

I don’t know anything about the beach in San Diego but if it makes you happy in your soul center than it is all good with me.

WOW! You live on a boat in the harbor/ocean – that’s really great! Does anyone in you family ever get sea sick?

Reading your comment gave me goosebumps, Joy. This is just awesome. What an adventure! You strike me as a pioneer, a true adventurer, and a leader. You’re really living a dream. I think this is great! And you’re all so active! Yay!!

Before I met my husband, I dated a guy who lived on a house boat here in San Diego. I found it to be really fun to just pull anchor and sail away at a moments notice – even for just a 1/2 hour or such. It was really fun. I’m glad to have met him, but also ‘kinda’ glad it didn’t work out because I’m prone to sea-sickness! ha ha Probably not a good thing for me to have lived with him on the house boat.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and apologize about my late response. Feel free to write here or to my direct email (see Contact Me page) any time.

Take care and thanks again! Glad to meet you.

I’m enjoying my vacay so very much so far! I wish I could bring you and all the community down here with me – wouldn’t that be a flipping blast???

I love that you do the things you do, Tim, going downtown, to the library and such. I have a feeling you are great at taking mini-adventures and that they bring you new ideas and excitement. Well, I know this is fact as evidenced by your awesome blog. (Thanks for sharing your ‘finds’ with us, Tim!)

Good point about Lake Michigan, Tim. When I visited the Great Lakes while living in MN, I was amazed by their size and that they actually produced waves, too! Very cool. Thanks for mentioning that.

Good point!

Have a great day and more great adventures! (Then, tell us about them at 360 Degree Self.)

Thanks, chicka! And how cool is this? I’m taking you on my vacay with me – even if only via the blog.

Your Dad sounds like a smart man and good teacher. I didn’t see the ocean in person until I was 18 years old, and I had to learn from a bunch of peers how to “be” in it. So, yeah, I learned by the school of hard knocks (er, uh, breakers on the head). ha ha

I love that you commented about the mountains, Sami. I agree. The Canadian Rockies took my breath away when I had to visit Banff for work. I say “had to” – but by the time I arrived I felt fortunate to be there. The Grand Canyon in Arizona does the same thing for me. It’s just too incredible to process!

I feel a strong connection to you, chicka, maybe we’re amazing natural formations, too?

I’m so happy to see your face, dear. And, I totally hear you – the SF Bay just isn’t the same! I find that the Pacific near we live in SF is almost “angry” as it’s very turbulent, murky, and along the rocky coast line. Yeah, it still has a certain beauty, and the rollers that come through there are awe-inspiring, but it certainly doesn’t bring that tranquility and peace that the Pacific down here in SD does.

A drive out to the coast together sounds blissful, Ali, great idea! I can’t wait to see you in our own ‘backyards’. I’m glad you’ve found your way up to SF. It’s great to be neighbors again!
