The Laid-Back Virus
If you've been wondering why I haven't been posting lately, it could be because of a virus I caught in Oregon. Although I have tons of photos and stuff to blog about, I can't seem to get motivated -- I think I caught some kind of laid-back virus.
This is Cannon Beach, one of several places I could have picked up this disease. Because of some beautiful photos of the beach on Terry's blog, (can't find that post, but check out the great postcards she's doing right now) we drove there on the last day of our trip.
Oregon was cool in the mornings and evenings (I even bought a coat!). Although it was afternoon, the wind at the beach was actually chilly.
But the sand was warm and soft on my bare feet. Since we don't have beaches like this in Missouri, I had to soak up as much as I could before getting back on the plane. Now that I'm home, for some reason I'm only interested in eating salads, working out, and finding the perfect flip flops. Anyone know a cure for this?

Why cure it? It sounds like a marvelous state of mind.
As a native Oregonian who has been transplanted to the midwest, let me assure you there is no cure! While this virus may go into remission in time, it can flare up again anytime!
I've struggled with this same ailment for years...with the most recent virus in its third year...while I will always believe that God's headquarters in the US is Rocky Mountain National Park, my heart is most days in Ocean City, Maryland...walking the beach in the cold...so sorry I have no cure...
Why would you WANT to find a cure for that virus? :)
I am headed to the coast of Nova Scotia and then a week at the beach in Maine....I hope I catch the East Coast version.
Why fight it? Put on Jimmy Buffet and mix up a bucket of frozen Margarita's (I am still working my way through a bucket of Mango flavored), kick back and watch the sun set!
