30 seconds of play can ripple through your day

Ahhhhhh… with no wind, the morning felt peaceful and warmer than the past few days. So many birds gathered along the shore — a solo skimmer, sandpipers, ruddy turnstones, and of course, the laughing gulls.

A calm ocean added to the serenity, helping my nervous system settle. Pelican Highway traffic was light, heading southbound over the sparkly waves.

After sunrise, a large pod of dolphins relaxed together in the current — until someone said, “Snuggle time!”

For about 30 seconds, snuggle and play took over. The pod said, “Even 30 seconds of play can change your mood. A small moment of connection can ripple through the rest of your day. Presence, even briefly shared, is powerful medicine.”

Wishing you a beautiful day friends
