As I walk along the coast I love that there are so many people out and about. The coast is always good for seeing active and healthy people...but then to say hi to a passerby... they don't hear me because of the noise they have going on in their ears-they have to unplug to hear a friendly greeting.
I have never been able to walk, jog or bike listening to music to anything other than the laughter of children, the random guitar playing of a local musician and the sounds of the surf... Sounds I love...
How do people tune out to wonderful sounds?
When I have lived elsewhere, I missed the sound of the surf.
Stop listen enjoy!
