The beach is my happy place

Destin beach, Florida

What is your happy place? Mine is the beach. Specifically, Destin beach, Florida. I’ve been praying for over three years to travel there. It is the setting for the first fiction book that I wrote, Storm Tossed. The Destin beach is gorgeous with soft, white sand and clear, blue-green water.

I recently went there for a week, staying in a beautiful Air BnB. It was an amazing, fun time.  I give Jesus Christ all the glory for getting me there. I’m so thankful to my husband Ray for his support for me to do this, and for his, my daughters Heather’s and Leah’s, my sister Maria’s and my intercessors’ prayers for me as I was traveling.

I plan to do some blogging about it here at BethJones.net about the trip, but meanwhile you can watch my vlogs on my YouTube channel by clicking here.

Stay tuned for more of them soon!

Today I found this cute, flower weight for my desk. It reads, “Do more of what makes you happy.”

Summer is in full swing now with its 85-100 degree heat here in Missouri.

Many of us have to work, but it’s important to take time out to relax and have FUN! To do what makes you happy.

It might be getting some adorable, new heart socks like I bought today. (I’m a heart girl!)

It might be something as simple as a hot bubble bath with deliciously scented candles.

But whatever you decide to do this summer, make sure it’s fun and makes you happy.

And make this summer count.
