It looks like the season is officially open. š
Which one?
Yes, I know that summer hasn't started yet, neither the astronomical nor the meteorological summer, but the beautiful weather we have had these days with pleasantly warm temperatures was enough for me to open our beach and swimming season today. š
As you can see, my beach shoes are still serving my feet well. I searched for them this morning when we decided to kill two birds with one stone today, that is, to use our travel and go to the beach before a meeting with a manager and my private afternoon classes. In a backpack that had been sleeping through the winter on a high shelf in the pantry, these beach shoes were waiting for me, and as a surprise, I found an entire bottle of sunscreen in the same backpack.
Another reason I could allow myself this pleasure of spending a few hours at the beach is that I will have some more free time in the next three days. It already feels relaxing; the idea itself made me take things easy, instead of sticking to strict schedules.
I am even thinking of going to the seashore tomorrow as well. Even though I don't have to go to my regular work tomorrow and on Friday, I do have things to sort out (both as household chores and around the musical project I am working on intensely), but now I feel I can give myself that little break.
During the Hive meetup we had about a month ago in the city of Alicante, I was already quite busy, and later, things intensified even more. The interesting thing is that once you get used to the crazy schedules and events, you also get a bit addicted to that pace, so at one point I asked myself what I would do during the summer when I have my summer break? Will I be bored? Lost?
One of the fellow Hivers said that then (during summer), I will have time for kindness rocks and for Hive posts.

...someone mentioned Kindness Rocks?
At first, I spotted just those two pebbles on one rock. But then - surprise!!! š Many pebbles appeared in front of my eyes. It wasn't me who played this balance game with pebbles, but yeah, it could perfectly represent our days, our thoughts, or efforts.
Stacking rocks and finding that balancing point where they would hold each other is kind of an art. Or just a matter of patience. Experience, maybe. Or luck? Whatever. Find what works for you and even if sometimes heavy storms open the covered and well-padded wounds and ruin the stack, just start again building a tower with your own balance points when you feel your hand is steady and calm again.
After adding my contribution with a few new pebble towers, I went to swim. The water was so clean and pleasant, and not cold (for my taste) at all.
Here we were leaving already as the afternoon had to continue with the useful stuff (oh, but who says spending some hours at a beach is not useful as well? š). And also... now that the summer vibes season is open at my side, I am looking forward to having more of these little breaks by the sea. š
