Harbor Views
Clouds and Sky

Looking out at the harbor today and I noticed the clouds reflected in the water. We’re on vacation this week in Seattle. Being on vacation gives you time for noticing, time for reflecting. The water acts like a mirror, showing the beauty of the clouds.

As I walk to the local coffee shop for some delicious Victorian Breakfast blend tea, with a generous splash of vanilla, I pause to snap a few photos. And to reflect on the pace of life this week on vacation. It’s been so refreshing to be on a relaxed schedule and spend lots of time outdoors. We’ve been biking, walking, sitting out in the sun and generally bumming around. . .Oh, and sailing.

 

Rx – Do This Once a Day

One of the things that drives me is a love of the created world and an appreciation for life and beauty. My favorite thing to do is to just be, to go outside and breathe. To soak in the sunshine and absorb the fresh air. I love listening to the nature sounds all around me. I like to feel the breeze. I savor the bracing cold and the blazing heat alike. I notice colors and textures. I look for birds and wildlife. I find it to be just what I need to refresh and rejuvenate. Connecting with the outdoors brings me life and energy and joy.

What do you do to refresh your soul?
