This month’s feedback

Maybe it’s the allure of the sea. Or perhaps it’s the idea of connecting with a stranger far away. But there’s something irresistible about a message in a bottle. We asked Coast Monthly readers to share what their message in a bottle would be. Here are a few:

Live, laugh, love and dance like no one is watching. Feel the sand between your toes and be grateful God made you a Texan. — Connie Place-Hatman

Living the dream in paradise. — Belinda Reyes Sandoval

Don’t look here for the booze, I already drank it. — Don Walker

BOI — Born (and blessed) On Island — forever in my heart, near or far. — Carol Egert Jones

This is my island, you’re welcome to be here as long as you take care of it. — Michelle Cervantes

Please recycle. — Harry Palmer

Drink upstream from the herd. — Lee Usry

Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone … but love your neighbor as yourself. — Galveston Weekends

God loves you. — Jimmy Graves

Lucky finder of this beautiful bottle, you have been blessed today. Take this $20 bill. Buy you and your best friend a meal or a few necessities. Then bless someone else with the same. Pay it forward. Godspeed. — Nadine Lewis

Stop wasting time with bottles and go hug your family, even the ones you don’t like. You’ll be glad you did. — Michael Clements
