Mountain Mama…Take Me Home…Country Road…

Last week I went on a short little break away from my life in the city to the San Juan Islands. Amazing what a little connection with nature and being in the country for a few days does for the rhythm of your pulse. It just gives you a little “time-out” so to speak of all the hustle bustle, busy doing this, busy doing that.

I went on a walk down a country road and had to smile as I was getting hats tipped off to me as people in their pickups would drive by. Or that two finger wave off the steering wheel that is a sure indicator you are in a place where life moves at a slower pace. So slow the enthusiastic hand wave is reduced to a two finger lift. Just that can make you smile and feel welcomed in their neck of the woods.

Always nice to get away a few hours from where you live to feel the disconnect, but this reminds me that even on a lunch hour I could go to the beach, or a park with a lookout, and just take some time to…take some time.

Life does not need to be figured out in a day and it never will be anyway, so….breathe.
