Hey there, It's Kirsten & Mack here, your guides to living life on your own terms. This morning, we completed our squats for the Move With Mack December Squats Challenge (you can join in over on the Move With Mack Facebook Page) and then headed out for a leisurely stroll down the sun-kissed beaches of Aruba. Mack took the beautiful picture above using the landscape setting on his iphone and it came out perfect for a blog heading.
As we walked along, the ocean front we became captivated by the rhythm of the waves. The ocean breeze, gentle and refreshing, kept us cool as we made our way down the shore.
Aruba's beaches are not just about the stunning scenery; they're about the connection with nature. With every step, we feel our worries being washed away by the tide, leaving us lighter and more grounded.
We paused to admire the beauty, and snap a photo of the sun glistening off of our faces.
This stroll was more than a physical journey; it was a walk through our inner landscape, a time to reflect and appreciate life's simple pleasures. It's here, amidst the whisper of the Divi dive trees and the salt in the air, that we find clarity and inspiration.
Being in the place where we said "I Do" gives us a deep sense of gratitude. Aruba has given us a precious gift – a moment of peace and a reminder of the joy in life's journey.
As we left the beach we promised ourselves: to carry this serenity with us, to remember that sometimes, all we need is a quiet stroll to reconnect with ourselves and the world around us.
We continued our walk into the high rise hotel area where we enjoyed breakfast at the Salt & Pepper Restaurant. (Mack had steak and eggs but we failed to get a picture. Kirsten enjoyed strawberry yogurt over granola with fresh bananas and strawberries)
We will be heading to the local grocery store which is a simple yet meaningful step in our journey to stay budget-friendly, (we've got a whole month here) savor healthier options, and immerse ourselves in local flavors.
Until next time, we will keep embracing life's path with a brave and open heart. Today's stroll along the beach is just the beginning.
Love,
Kirsten & Mack
P.S. We were able to complete our daily 4 miles and get back to the Cozy Diamond Condo we are renting for the month of December before the temperature got too hot.
