I went to the beach with Xuan and Divjot to visit Mr. Thomas Hogan and have a nice day. While i just let the cold ocean water dampen my legs, I see an older man with a walker, wading to the oncoming surf. He sets his walker in the sand where he goes down on his knees and slowly makes his way into the water. Watching this man on his knees as the waves crash into him, I see the look on his face and couldn't help but smile. After a few minuets, the man is about 20 feet from the sand, laughing and enjoying the water around him. I couldn't help but analyze this. I couldn't help watching and wondering what peace he must feel inside. The joy that he must have been overwhelmed with to just be in the ocean. I think that he has somehow inspired me, in a very personal way. I'm very glad and thankful to have witnessed something as beautiful as someone just feeling happy.
