“Today, what if we just decided to be kind because people could use it. What if we choose to be good to each other even if we don’t agree on everything, because that’s where we meet the best of ourselves. It’s tough out there. Go be love.” #sandyhooknj
Kinda wonder what they are saying to each other.

Great way to start the week down the Jersey Shore in one of my favorite running spots (trail at Sandy Hook). A diner breakfast before, beach time/ice cream after made a perfect day with family. Sunny and 70s too!

“Today, zero in on the simple joys: The rush of relief when your phone survives a fall without a scratch, socks that emerge from the laundry as a matching pair, the instant warmth of hot water from a quick turn of the shower knob…These are the quiet wins. Take time to appreciate them.” #sandyhooknj

“The miracle of today lies in: Planting positive morning thoughts of love; Acts of kindness for ourselves and others; Gratitude and awe that awaken the spirit to the beauty around us.” #sandyhooknj

Sandy Hook Lighthouse in New Jersey
1 // Oldest lighthouse in America 🇺🇸 (1764) + where I go for creative juicing
2 // The lords of this kingdom, with zero fear + giving zero fucks while they munch on a holly tree that’s probably a century old
3 // Holly from the largest maritime holly forest in North America

Today, we honor British Royal Navy Lieutenant Hamilton Douglas Halyburton, who was born on (Mon) October 10th, 1763. As the son of Sholto Charles Douglas, the 15th Earl of Morton, his family’s prestige and lineage allow him to be fast-tracked into the military. He found himself onboard the HMS Assistance, a 50-gun, Portland-Class fourth-rate warship during the American Revolution. Hamilton, at the ripe old age of 20, becomes a legend of the story of Sandy Hook and New Jersey as a whole during the Revolutionary War – under the most horrifying of circumstances. On Dec. 31st, 1783, as the Royal Navy prepares to leave New York Harbor for the last time, HMS Assistance found herself anchored in Sandy Hook Bay in present day Horseshoe Cove. Faced with the prospects of returning to England and continued service in the Royal Navy, several members of the crew dive over the side, swim ashore to the Hook, and take off running down the peninsula to hopeful freedom. HMS Assistance calmly lowers a boat with 14 men, with young Hamilton in command. They're to row ashore, catch the deserters, bring them back to the ship, hang them, and then sail for home.
Between ship and shore, a massive snow storm blew in and enveloped the British sailors, and they vanished in the white out conditions. The storm rages for 2 days. A second search party finds Lt. Halyburton and his men… frozen to death in the marshes. HMS Assistance’s crew buried her fallen in a mass grave and sailed for home. Lt. Halyburton’s mother paid for an ornate monument of white marble to be built at the grave. It was smashed by French sailors in the early 1800's and the gravesite lost to history. It would not be until 1908 that the burial crypt was discovered by accident. Lt. Halyburton and his men were recovered, and, with the blessings of the British government, interred at Cypress Hills National Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY, where they rest to this day. A monument, built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930's, marking the relative location of the crypt, stands watch overlooking Sandy Hook Bay to this day, and the memory of the lost British sailors shall never be lost again. Their tragic stoey is an indelible chapter of the incredible and rich history of Sandy Hook, Monmouth County, and New Jersey. Enemies no longer, their legacy is in good and safe hands, both here, and on the shores of Sandy Hook Bay.
