Lake in January

Yesterday I spent the better part of the day at Lake Ouachita..soaking up the sun, looking at the smooth as glass water, and being grateful for where I live.

Many times we look at House Hunters International and we see places greener, better. We drool at the view from a balcony of a condo we cannot afford, or dream of lands far away.

Yesterday reminded me of how blessed I am to be 15 minutes from Lake Ouachita. To have a boat in the water ready to go at the turn of a key, and friends to meet and tie-up to and drift... and talk.. and dream.

Sun setting, headed back. thinking of the return












Free, natural, and peace.  It's a feeling of where I belong. A connection with who I am and whose I am.










The next 22 days will find me in a far away country, snowy cobblestone streets, business suits, technology, new friends, challenges, and wool socks.

Going is always good, and yesterday reminds me that the return will be ever sweeter.
