Winking Up

All along the lee shore
Shells lie scattered in the sand
Winking up like shining eyes at me
From the sea

Here is one like sunrise
It’s older than you know
It’s still just lying there, where some careless wave
Forgot it long ago

Song: Lee Shore by David Crosby

*Santa Barbara, I love you.*

Get Better

Painting by Joseph Areno

You don’t have to believe in God, but you do need the capacity to believe that things will get better.

Oceana Santa Barbara #santabarbara

Many years ago, when my husband and I were dating, we stayed at the Ambassador By The Sea Motel in Santa Barbara, California.  I just came across these matches that I took from the hotel as a souvenir.   Since then, of course, they have remodeled and it’s now called Oceana Santa Barbara.  It’s across the street from the Pacific Ocean in Santa Barbara.  It’s on prime Santa Barbara land and in a very touristy area.  On Sundays there is the Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Festival, which has fabulous items, all handmade in Santa Barbara.  The hotel still looks like a cute place to stay.

I would like to be in Santa Barbara right now!  Don’t tell me you are going there!  But please tell me if you have been there!
