BIG WAVES
It always gives me pleasure to receive emails from the appreciative readers like “Love your “Fridays with Manny” weekly columns and your photography in them is outstanding!”
But this time an email also came with the recommendation: “This is the time of year for big ocean waves due to a combination of storms and tides. These big waves provide beauty, excitement, evocative adventurous imagery, and potential danger. Have you thought of potentially devoting one of your early 2024 Fridays with Manny columns to ocean waves? One of my favorite places to view them is Rockaway Beach in Pacifica.”
When I decided to check the waves on January 1st, the storm was over. Nevertheless, we went to San Francisco Ocean Beach for a walk with Max. There were no dramatic waves, but there were a lot of people who came just to enjoy the ocean. For me this was a very good reminder that the big waves come and go, but people will continue having a good time. There are some “experts” who make negative predictions about 2024. For me these negative events are just temporary storms, which come and go away. My New Year resolution is to stay away from the negativity. I hope you will do the same.
One of the ways to stay positive, which is not easy, is to be exposed to the positive information. This is why I published the book “Retirement Solutions for Smart People™. How to accomplish Financial Comfort” as well as a gorgeous weekly calendar “53 Reminders”. Both are available at the provided links on Amazon.
Recently an article in the San Francisco Chronicle told a story about Big Waves filmed by Tim Bonython. You can watch his film Monster Mavericks by clicking this link. Ocean waves not only can be big, they can be beautiful, as you can see from the three images above.
