Walking the Beach

I spent 90 minutes or so this morning exploring the beach at La Jolla Shores with my daughter and two young boys visiting from Beijing. Normally, we go there to walk a couple brisk miles as we watch the waves roll in. Today, we were beachcombers, stopping to check out any shell, pattern of sand, flora or fauna that looked interesting. I saw several things I have never seen before.

Then it hit me: there are so many things that we "blow right by" as we live our lives. How many wonderful things are we missing because we are trying to get where we are going just a few minutes earlier?
