Great book!

I just got finished reading a book called Life is better at the beach . It is truly a great book. It reminds us to live our life more peacefully and to pay attention to what is important. When we are the beach, our hair is a mess, we are getting sand on our bodies from wearing bathing suits, and we take time to play in the sand, play in the water, make  sand castles, nap , read a book, etc. I like that we can apply this to our life. We need to not worry so much about the mess in house, or replying to every email, or not getting any sleep. That is not life at all. We all need peace and relaxation in our life. I like the quote on page 60 that says " Allow yourself to make a mess. Dig in the garden, relish the feeling of cool dirt in your hands. Let your kids make cookies-and don't rush to their aid when the flour spills all over the counter. Dance in the rain; go camping; eat a melting ice cream cone in the hot sun."I also like the quote on page 145 which says " God tells us we are small, and that is okay. In fact, we should take comfort in the fact that we are small. We don't have to have it all figured out, and we don't need to worry about tomorrow."
