The Music Of The Waves

In a world filled with pricey items everyone wishes they had the money for. Magazines filled with thousand dollar diamonds and gorgeous people everyone wishes they looked like. Are these the things that really matter most to you in life? Do you always want to be wishing your life away worrying about how much money you have or wanting to be the person you'll never be? I know I don't. There are many things in your life that are worth so much more than diamonds or pearls. Think about what matters most in your life. I know I would take a priceless moment over something with cost. This is because something with cost can get ruined or worn out, while a priceless moment is something you'll always have.
Finish packing the car which is stuffed to the top with suitcases. Soon everyone gets in. The clicking sounds from our seat belts. Everyone is squished in their seats. Suitcases, boogie boards, and other items are taking up a lot of space. We are all ready as we head off on the road. Everyone is so excited for the trip that awaits us. Hopefully the weather is good so we can go on the beach. We make a few rest stops. It seems like the ride is forever since we are so happy and anxious for vacation. We finally pull in the hotel parking lot. We can smell the fresh scent of the beach that is right outside the window. We can’t wait for what this trip is going to bring.
I walk over the boardwalk as the sun is shining through the bright blue sky. I place my towel down on the sand and lay on it. I can smell the SPF 30 I applied to my body earlier in the morning. Before I know it, I can feel my body heating up as the sun rays bounce of my back. There is soon a trickle of sweat down running my spine. I get up and run into the salty ocean. My body is soon cooled down and it feels so refreshing in the ocean. As I am walking back to my spot, I can feel the waves crashing up against the back of my legs, as it is pulling me off balance. As I lay back down, I can smell the salt water mist in the breeze. My feet are warm as they are buried into the soft sand particles.
Spin the clicker as it moves through many different genres of songs. From hip-hop to alternative or from country to rap, I have it all. Some minutes I am in the mood for slower songs or faster songs. When I am feeling in need of motivation before I game I usually listen to louder or more upbeat songs. On the other hand, if I am feeling down I like to listen to songs that are inspirational or not as upbeat. The head phones soon start to vibrate as a song starts to play. I say the words in my head because I know most of the words on all songs on my iPod. The song comes to an end as I scroll down with my finger searching for what I would like to listen to next. This usually goes on for about a half hour. I really enjoy listening to my iPod and I could never get tired of listening to it.
Even though the beach doesn’t have any cost, I still value it as much as my iPod. These two objects both help me relax. If I need to get things off my mind or need to calm down I turn to these objects. Listening to songs on my iPod helps me control my moods. Lying on the beach and letting the sun give me warmth makes me feel like I can shut all my troubles out and just live in the moment. Going to the beach and listening to my iPod are things that I will always want in my life. I would never want to lose these two objects.
Overall, I feel there are many more important things than how much money you have or how many expensive things you own. There is so much more in life to cherish such as priceless moments. To me, I would take a priceless moment over an expensive item because I value these moments more. These priceless moments make me feel really good when I think back at them. Things with expensive value could be gone any day; these priceless moments will be in my life forever.
