Soul Surfing Searching

I involuntarily took the winter off from writing on this bloggy thing. Though, it seems fitting. Talking about endless summers when it's snowing out does not seem to work. Believe me, I've tried.

It is now spring. The long winter year has passed by. It's bittersweet for me. I grew another year older in the cold weather.

Perhaps you care to know what I did during those winter months. Here follows a brief synopsis..

January
I almost always end up watching countless surfing movies during this month. Why do I do this to myself? I just end up craving the waves under my feet. It didn't help that my family acquired more TV channels, including FUEL. This channel features a lot of surfing, snowboarding, and skateboarding. Several days during winter break, FUEL showed Endless Summer and I felt obligated to watch while of course eating some Christmas cake. Then, I realized Bluecrush was on instant Netflix... hence a lazy Sunday with my sister ensued.
I returned to school reluctantly.

February= epitome of cold and colds. That sums it up.

March aka Now
Last week, the 23rd to be exact was awful. Not only because of the cold rain, but because in the back of my head all I could think was "one year ago today, I was surfing in Huntington Beach."  The next day, I kept thinking "One year ago today I was at the Babycakes in Los Angeles."  I will return to you, California.

Now too much time has become between me and many things- surfing, music, but not gluten free baking. I have had plenty of cupcakes. My feet are getting antsy to have a board under them. My favorite surf shop Ocean Outfitters keeps updating its FB page on how new boards are coming in and that the ocean water temperature is getting warmer.

I wish I could say I did some soul searching (or even surfing) this winter. Maybe I did without knowing it? It is possible. I do feel older. I feel a bit different than I did at the end of December.

Until I will see my beloved surf shop and the ocean again, I must settle with surf movies, in particular Soul Surfer! Hooray it is opening next week! You shall hear about this movie very soon.

Love,
