No ocean beaches around, but soaking in the hot tub, gazing at the Montana night sky is bliss.

“Can Simply Being Near the Ocean Wash Away Stress?”
Having grown up within earshot of the ocean, the smell of the ocean, spent my youth with fishing pole in hand on the beach, the offshore fishing barge, the all day boats, AND a lifetime working in the harbor then moving to, and living in the Inland Empire for the past 27 years I can assure all that indeed one can know the difference.
Yes simply being near the ocean does wash away stress.
Funny how the occupants of most of California’s oceanfront properties are screaming Leftists anymore. To the point one prefers the stress.
I have my own isolated little lake and cabin. Nearest dwelling is 3/4 mile away.
“Deep calls to Deep”
Psalm 42:7
In a month, I will be sitting on my balcony watching the waters of the inside passage slip by.
Peaceful.
Can’t afford a house on the beach so I now live in a boat in the harbor. I’d say it’s cut way down on stress. Plus, no lawn to mow.
No. NY & LA are proof.
I am from Minnesota and we had a home next to a creek with a pond nearby. In the summers we went “up north” to a lake cabin. The sound of the waves against the rocks and the hull of the aluminum boat are relaxing.

Lake beaches yes, Beaches along the Great lakes are nice. Beaches in Alaska and Washington state are nice.
You can have all your white sandy beaches.
I was standing in the middle of an Iowa cornfield tonite. It’s about 7 feet tall now. A beach has a sound to it that can be relaxing. But a cornfield has its own sound too. Very relaxing. It has a certain sweet smell to it now also. Good times.
I believe that the energy released from the crashing waves is what recharges my body. I know...woo woo right? I just know that when I head to the Oregon coast..and spend a bit of time walking or just standing by the crashing waves...I feel better and calmer and ready to tackle any thing.
I also think some of us are water people and some of us are recharged in a different way.
I am lucky to live where I do and lucky to be married to a man who understands my need to be near the pacific ocean.
Figured the daily view of the ocean had to be the ticket for some measure of peace in a world going to hell.
Too bad that it makes me nervous to climb onto my roof. Nice view of the ocean from up there.
