The Reward

On my morning walk at the beach today with some friends, we took a slightly different route in which we climbed a (very steep!) hill behind the Ritz Carlton hotel.  By the time we got to the top, all of us were winded and in need of a quick rest. How nice that there was a gazebo up there with Adirondack chairs overlooking the beautiful Pacific ocean! Sitting there for a few peaceful minutes, we all felt rewarded for our efforts!
