Evening has always been my time for reflection. A time to consider the day that has passed. Had my experiences been good, or had they left me wanting for more?

I think that is why I love the beach at this time of the day. I’m alone with that great expanse of sand and sea, with pebbles and shells to turn over and gather like memories to hold and cherish.

I catch my reflection in a pool of still water; not quite so alone after all. We stand, joined as one, and watch the sun dip lazily below the horizon.

    Carrie, I like the zen quality in your writing. Your words “with pebbles and shells to turn over and gather like memories to hold and cherish” resonated in a moving way.

    Very nice, Carrie. In this crazy world, there is often little time for reflection. Your story brings a sense of peace and I really enjoyed that walk along the beach.

    Why do my friends need to SignIn to read the post I shared?

    Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance. To fix this, our staff finally decided to allow only members who SignIn to read the stories. Membership is free and easy, and ensures our club is safe, secure, and family-friendly!
