This just reminded me how badly I need a break.  Launching your own business is both exciting and absolutely exhausting.

Ah, peace.  How lovely.  I need to get out of this office and go to the beach, my peace level is running low today.  Thanks, Joni!

That makes me wish that I could play guitar! I have tried before, but it's like driving a shifter car... My mind just doesn't seem to get it!

Hi Joni - This was so refreshing! My wife and I are in Virginia for a wedding and got to travel the Blue Ridge Parkway today--it was so relaxing and beautiful. This could have been the theme song for the day!

Joni - I remember being out in the woods several years ago, and hearing the music of a wood flute being played.  When I followed the music, I came upon a woman out there among the trees, playing the most wonderful sounds.  It is like you say, all about the simple things.

How soon can you get here?  We've got a beach chair with your name on it!  Oh, and one for TPM too!  Better bring your hubby also, we've got some great fishing here!

What a great way to enjoy life, lake, picnic and guitar.  What more could you ask for?  To me that is the good life. Nice post.
