"W"ait for it... "W"ater. Yes, water.
The first thing that came to mind and happened to simultaneously put a smile on my face, that started with a "W" was water.

I was exposed to water as a little girl, and I mean as old as I could sit up, my mother took me took the beach.
Whether it was the beautiful beaches of sunny Southern California; Lima, Peru; Mollendo- Arequipa, Peru; vacationing in Mar del Plata, Argentina; or being surrounded by the Puget Sound, the many lakes and majestic scenery of Washington state ... I have always been blessed to have lived near a body of water.

I may no longer live blocks from Venice Beach, but that doesn't stop me from feeling that I do. (...and I didn't bring up the many swimming pools I splashed in.)
After all, what is it that they say...
... when life gives you lemons, add some Water, a little sugar along with some love... and Wham-O! ... make some delicious lemonade!
(okay so I added a little extra.)

I've never seen an alphabet challenge before. Interesting, and makes me want to know what you could possibly do with X!
Hi Carla I love water too, I love to swim in it, a cold glass of it to drink, a nice hot shower, and to just watch it go by love it!
This is a great post…for many reasons, but my favorite being you mentioned my home city…Seattle! And I can't help but go all nostalgic when I think of the waterfront in Seattle…great post!
They used to call me a fish when I was younger, because I love the water and swimming. I had green hair from being in the pool too much!
I really like the text and photos post...really well done!
Cheers on your A-Z!
We live in Southern California and don't take advantage of our proximity to the beach nearly enough! I guess because we're so used to it being there--and, I grew up in Chicago in a neighborhood very close to the lake. A lot of people don't realize that Lake Michigan is HUGE and has many lovely beaches, too. A good reminder not to take it all for granted!
