Busy, Busy, Busy

Real Estate Agent with Casmi Photography

We all have those days when we feel like we are spinning our wheels.  I know I have had plenty of them lately.  :)

Today I decided to meet a friend for lunch.  We were talking about getting distracted, losing focus and winding up not being as productive as we might like to be.  Then out of the blue she said, "Hey! before we go back I wanna show ya the spot that can get you centered again!"

Well, I wasn't quite sure what she was talking about but she directed me to take a left, take a right, follow that path past that tree.....OK - this is getting a little weird.  Well, we wound up going down a hill that a sledding child would howl over and there it was.  Peace.  In all it's forms, colors and sounds. 

I snapped these photos while standing next to the Maumee River listening to the water lap at the dock.  I felt 200% better when we left there!

Hope you enjoy!

 

                                                               


  

And this little guy reminded me that we must work in order to survive....quite an inspiring and industrious little thing!

Thank you for the eye candy.  Sitting at a desk staring at a computer screen can be really tiring and stressful.  Your photos and blog were a nice relief in my day.

How lovely!  Even just sitting at the computer looking at the photos, I felt myself relax a bit.

Somewhat of a coincidence as I spent a few hours down by the Trent River here in Ontario. Looking out over the water is always relaxing.

Good for you, Carol. The Maumee River is beautiful. We drove along it one day, going somewhere to avoid US 23. We all need to take time, and there is nothing as refreshing as a river, lake or ocean.

Dawn - Thank you!   That little butterfly caused me to stop and think.  Amazing what one little creature can do.

CJ - Sometimes we all need a 'pause for the cause' just to rest our tired eyes and brains.  Thanks for your comment.

Tricia - I am so glad that these photos were able to take some of the tension away - albeit temporarily.  Thanks for stopping by.

Wayne - There is something naturally calming about being near water of any sort.  I think it lets our minds wander without restriction.  And that's sometimes just what we need to do in order to get back on point.  Thanks for stopping by.

Missy - I truly enjoyed my few minutes of respite along the river.  But however short the visit it was enough to get my mind back on track.  Thanks for stopping by.  I hope Alyssa is doing well and that you and yours are able to relax a little.

Joan - I did get 'centered' and it's a good thing I did.  I had one heckuva day after that.  If I hadn't cleared the debris from my mind I may have not been so civil.  LOL  Thanks for stopping by!

Fran - Thank  you!  Glad you enjoyed them.

Barbara-Jo - Yes, life is beautiful.  But more importantly it's what we make of it.  Thanks for stopping!  By the way - are you familiar with SR 761 out of Port Charlotte?  Do you know if the 761 Grocery is still in business?

Kathleen - When we rush around so fast trying to be all things to all people we tend to overlook the natural beauty around us.  But Mother Nature is a patient soul and always providesus with a little inspiration from time to time.  Thanks for stopping by!
