Does everyone remember Sea Monkeys? Maybe your kids have some right now. Either way, Sea Monkeys were a rite of passage in the scheme of young childhood. They were right up there with pet rocks, fireflies in a glass jar with holes poked through the metal lid and the ant farms. Many hours were spent in front of that bowl just watching those Sea Monkeys hatch and play in the special solution that only they could live in.
Raising them took a little finesse, the temperature had to remain 79 degrees and above to ensure that they would hatch. There are tons of additional stuff that be purchased to make your Sea monkeys happier creatures. There are supplements to make them grow faster, appear redder and there is even some magical powder to make them much more interested in mating with each other. Sea Monkeys apparently are slightly afraid of marriage but you can help them for an additional three dollars. If the Sea Monkeys behave the way you want them to you can buy Sea Diamonds and they are the toys that the Sea Monkeys love to play with. There is even a banana treat that you can surprise them with to make them even better friends.
As adults, we all know that they are brine shrimp but they were special brine shrimp. How many fantasies and daydreams were had while watching those critters hatch and propel themselves across their little world? It never really mattered what they were, we all know that it was nothing short of magic

Just Sea
Sea is a very special place. When we see it for the first time, we are greatly surprised by its strength. Waves are whispering their eternal song of freedom. Sea cannot be conquered. It belongs to nobody. Big white ships are just toys in the deep waters of the sea. What colour is the sea? Nobody can say for sure. It has all shades of grey, green and blue taken together. It is always different. Sea is something special. Artists who try to paint sea say that it is very hard to come to the sea and paint it for several days. Every day demands its own colour.
Coloured pictures in different tourist leaflets are quite different from what we see in reality. As far as you can see you observe waves of dark water. Watching sea soothes and makes you think of usual things in quite a new way. You are soothed, and yesterday problems turn into mere trifles in comparison with all that beauty. Nothing can be compared with it. Sea and mountains are so beautiful that you want to think only about beautiful things.
Sea is power. Sea is a miracle. Sea is something fantastic. Poets and writers try to describe it in their poems and novels. Words cannot explain what a sea is. It is great and vast. Powerful and tranquil. Terrible and enormous. It is just the sea.

The sea and optimism
The sea is an eternal source of high spirits and cheerfulness. I always spend my leave at the seaside. I never miss my chance because I understand that if I fail to go to the sea and spend my leave at home, I won't the necessary supply of energy for work and will suffer from lack of power all year round. When I spend my leave at the sea, my immune system becomes stronger; I don't catch colds and feel good. When I stay at home during the whole summer, my health is bad, I am constantly sneezing and coughing. Medicines don't help. My friends experience the same when they fail to spend their leave at the sea. That is why, if you have your vacation in summer, never miss your chance and spend your leave at the sea. Positive emotions, which you will get there, will be remembered by you till the next leave. Spend it together with your family and bring pleasure to your chi8ldren. If you stay at home, you will see that apart from your health, your family relations will also suffer. When people spend all the time together in the same surroundings they are doomed to quarrels and arguments. All people need sometimes a different scene. Everything becomes boring if nothing changes and it can lead to negative consequences. Spending your leave at the sea can solve several problems at the same time. You can improve your health, strengthen your family relations and get the supply of energy for the whole year ahead.

Fishermen
Fishermen are special people. This profession is veiled by a halo of mysteriousness and romanticism. Many works of art are dedicated to fishermen. Many novels tell us about their life. This is a separate world, which is different form the one we live in. Fishermen have their special philosophy. They compare the flow of life with the flow of water. They compare everything with water. Why are fishermen so special and why do they have their own philosophy, while, for example, farmers have nothing of this kind? I think that the answer is very simple. Fishermen are spoilt children of fortune. They have too much time for thinking. When they put out to sea, they spend there too much time to fail to think about their life. This is the only thing they can afford, because nothing else is remained to them. Unlike fishermen, farmers are very busy, they have no time to look around, to look at the sky above and so on. They don’t have time for inventing their philosophy and think much of their life. They win their bread by means of hard work. They produce meat. Try to think what a person should do to have meat on his/her table. He/she must raise cattle, nourish it, lay in fodder, etc. to knife cattle is also a very difficult work. Another matter is fishing. You take an almost ready food from the water. The only thing you have to do is to cook it. That is why fishing is a good cover for idleness. That’s where philosophy appears. This is not a philosophy of thinkers but philosophy of idlers!

The sea
How wonderful it is to live at the sea. It gives energy and you have an opportunity to bathe several times a day during the whole summer. Unfortunately, I am not so lucky and have an opportunity to enjoy the sea only once a year, when I am on leave. Besides, I don’t have such a wonderful opportunity each year, as I am either tight for money or have a lot of work to at home. When I stay at home for the whole summer, I have more chances to catch a cold in winter. My health and immunity are strong only when I spend at least two weeks at the sea-side. The sea is the best opportunity to improve one’s health and to keep fit. Swimming and bathing affect positively all organs and the whole body in general. No gym can give you such a perfect opportunity to train all groups of your muscles during rather a short period of time. Of course, swimming can be practiced in a swimming-pool, but I think that you understand that comparing a swimming-pool with the sea is like comparing a lamp and the sun. Swimming-pools are artificial, the water there contains no healthy chemicals and doesn’t invigorate you. Swimming in the sea is much more pleasant and you can spend more time in the sea than in a swimming pool, because in a swimming-pool you get tired of your exercises quicker than in the sea. That is why never neglect an opportunity to go to the sea if you have enough money and free time. It will give energy for a year ahead and improve your health and will make you happy.
