Lifesaver

Sometimes things happen just at the right time. This weekend was a much-needed pick-me-up after a stressful week.  Spending 24 hours at a beautiful lake house (!) in good company was exactly what the doctor ordered. It seems like a fitting end to the summer - the smell of burgers cooking on the grill, a 3 am rowboat trip out on the lake, s'mores around the campfire...all of those idyllic summer moments that never seem to materialize in real life.

Sometimes the simple beauty of nature is enough to remind you that there is more to life than the daily grind. I just need to take a deep breath and keep on trucking...
