Afternoon Reflections
Point Your Heart Toward Your Dreams…
The Venice Pier was alive this afternoon.
The waves crashed against the rocks with a force that could be heard long before they could be seen. Whitewater danced across the shoreline while the ocean painted every shade of blue beneath a clear sky.
The pigeons were lined up on the railing as if they were waiting for roll call. Before long, Domino came flying in, followed closely by Honey Girl, both eager for their afternoon peanuts. Their excitement never gets old.
Captain was holding court from his usual spot on the rail, calmly watching over the scene while a lifeguard boat sped across the water, leaving a trail of spray behind it. A curious pigeon with beautiful peach-colored eyes stopped long enough to remind me that sometimes the smallest details become the most memorable moments.
Today’s little message read:
“Point your heart towards your dreams.”
Maybe that’s what these daily walks teach me. The more we focus on what brings us joy, gratitude, and purpose, the more we begin to notice the beauty that has been there all along.
Grateful for another beautiful afternoon on the Venice Pier. 💛🌊🕊️
Capturing beauty, sharing light.
