Nothing special but I live by the sea and that's what the waves do and somehow the feeling of endlessness is conveyed.

Wow, I like that. I also live by the sea, in New Jersey. I was at the ocean on Monday, and that certainly is a great description.

I know. It's not profound or anything but it says it all. It was right at the end of a fairly good book, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. He reunited with his wife and it was just like old times and the world seemed to stand still for them as they walked by the sea.

It's like how the river is always the same and yet it is different. (I must like that theme lol).

"Trust, but verify."

I live the mantra at work in how I view my associates. Once properly trained, I trust them to complete a task, but at the same time, a good manager should always take steps to verify the quality of their associate's work.
