Creative Prompt #190: Wet

I am thinking about the beach, water and Hawaii a lot lately. Not sure why, because although I live close to the beach, the water is about 45 degrees on a good day and the air temperature is between 40-50 degrees, none of which is conducive to swimming in the ocean.

I thought a creative prompt would be a good way to get thoughts of warm sand, warm salty water, etc off my mind, but many of the water type prompts have already been used: pour, drink and ocean. I guess I think about water a lot.

  1. Wet Wednesdays: Every Wednesday from May through September the husband goes sailing after work. It tends to be my favorite day of the week during those months as do not cook dinner and sit outside with neighbors/friends and enjoy the summer. Just heavenly.

    1. That does sound lovely, plus I bet you have a fabulous conversation when he returns about how the water was, what he sees, types of birds, etc. Win-win for all.
