My zen moment was when I was in the Bahamas. I was laying on the beach surrounded by the perfect, white sand and the crystal clear water. I looked out at the ocean and it was the brightest shade of blue and blended right in with the sky. It was so peaceful and I was so content just looking around. When I went into the water I could see right down to my feet and I could lay there so still, like in a swimming pool. I would do anything to go back.
